creeping velvetgrass

Overview

Creeping Velvetgrass, (Holcus mollis 'Albovariegatus'), is an incredibly soft-looking and decorative perennial grass. This easy care plant creates a beautiful ground cover with its cascading foliage of thin grass-like blades, that sport creamy-white variegated stripes. The long runners act as a barrier, suppressing weeds while the mounds of deep green foliage form a thick cushion. While the plant is considered invasive in some areas, it is easily kept in check by mowing. Creeping Velvetgrass is perfect for difficult, sunny locations where other plants just won't grow and is a great addition to borders, beds, and slopes.
