The blades have lengthwise dark green and white stripes, with a strawberry pink blush in the spring and fall. Brown flowers bloom in mid to late summer. Use its tendency to wander to your advantage and plant it where you need good coverage; or reign it in planters or containers. Of interest all seasons.
