Variegated reed sweet grass (Glyceria maxima variegata) is a very attractive variegated grass with striking pinkish red striped foliage in spring changing to yellow-green-cream stripes later in the year.  Smaller and less vigorous than the standard reed sweet grass but still very lively!  It produces purple-green flowering panicles in late summer and works well in its own right but really stands out against a background of darker foliage plants.
