Cyperus albostriatus ‘Variegatus’
Palm-like habit with variegated foliage for containers, groundcover and dry shade!
The green leaves of this unusual plant are streaked with silver lines. Its dwarf-palm-tree habit makes it a useful plant for multiple applications.

Dwarf umbrella grass was a popular houseplant in the 70s so go all retro and bring it into the house in colder climates.
