Phalaris arundinacea (Poaceae)

Reed canary grass

This is a cool season, perennial species native to both North America and Eurasia, usually in moist places, including marshes and riverbanks. Typically green-leaved, stems are mostly upright, to 1.5m tall, flowering in June. If cut back midseason, they produce a strong new flush of leaves that remains attractive into early winter. A striking addition to the garden, useful as accents or groundcovers. Also superb when grown in pots.
Ht. 1.5m. Very hardy
