japanese variegated grass
Japanese variegated grass is a sought-after ornamental grass prized for its unique striped foliage and graceful habit, bringing a touch of the exotic to New Zealand gardens. Whether planting for texture, colour contrast, or soft movement, this beautiful grass elevates shaded borders, woodland settings, and containers. With stunning green leaves streaked with cream or gold, Japanese variegated grasses thrive in our climate, adapting well to both full and partial shade.
