    Ribbon Grass (Phalaris arundinacea var picta)

    This is a non-native striped version of the reed canary grass that grows throughout the valley. It lives in our pond and has the potential to be invasive if not contained. It grows in dense clumps 60-90cm tall with flowers on slender stems. It prefers a moist, sunny habitat.
