Description

'Overdam' is a distinctive variegated ornamental grass offering creamy-white striped foliage that brightens garden borders. It forms an upright clump with attractive arching leaves that add interest even when not flowering.

This grass thrives best in full sun to part shade and is known for its hardiness and tolerance of different soils. Its flower plumes are subtle, complementing the striking foliage without being showy.
