Name that Grass

16 years ago

I've been looking for a grass that I have, but I don't know the name of it. Its a perennial grass that gets very tall. AT least 4-5 feet. Its variegated and reminds me of a variegated spider plant. Kind of green and yellow striped.

Anyone have any idea of what this is called.

Thanks,

Peaches

With the description provided, I'd guess a variegated miscanthus, maybe Miscanthus Variegatus. Without a photo to go on, however, we're just throwing darts blindfolded.

Does it look like the photo in the link?
