The Story
A variegated version of the useful, ground-covering wire grass, the leaves splashed with green, white, and pink on dark, wiry stems to only 6" in height, spreading slowly. Evergreen, forming dense mats in sun to part shade in almost any soil but needing some summer water where particularly dry. Very good around steps or larger specimens such as New Zealand flax. Also successful in containers. Frost hardy to 8F, upper edge of USDA zone 7. Sometimes sold as M. complexa.
TRICOLOR WIRE GRASS
Polygonaceae
*THESE SIZES ONLY AVAILABLE FOR SALE IN OUR RETAIL NURSERY
