This plant is no longer for sale as it is flowering. However, we are seeing some signs of recovery. "Variegated Simon" has some leaves variegated; some are solid green. Leaves on a culm may be different types---broad, narrow, green or white striped. Variegation tends to fade in winter. It spreads somewhat more aggressively than "Simon." Makes an attractive container plant or ornamental.
