Arrhenatherum elatius bulbosum 'Variegatum' (Bulbous Oat Grass) - A clumping, cool-season, semi-deciduous, perennial grass that reaches 8 to 12 inches tall. Tufts of gray-green, soft, linear leaves, heavily striped with bluish-green and white leaves, are produced from chains of small bulbous corms. An excellent little grass, very soft to the touch and non-invasive. Great along the edge of paths or planted with other different colored grassy plants, particularly attractive against dark-toned plants, like the purple Euphorbia 'Chameleon' because of its clean white leaf stripes and margins. For best appearance, cut to the ground after summer flowering. Plant in light shade to full sun (along coast); and although this plant will tolerate fairly dry conditions, it looks better when watered regularly. Good drainage is a must as the plant can rot out in heavy clay soils.
