Plant details
One of many excellent grasses which tolerate a wide range of soils, and can be relied on to flourish year after year. 'Overdam' makes a thick, slightly arching clump of thin, vertical green leaves which are variegated white, the new leaves having a pink tint in spring. The summer plumes rise above the leaves, and are quite effective even when they are spent. If the foliage starts looking a bit tired and jaded after midsummer, you can cut it back to force up a fresh new batch of leaves.
