Glyceria Maxima

Glyceria Maxima, commonly known as sweet grass or larger sweetgrass, is a robust and attractive aquatic perennial that enhances any garden or water feature. This versatile plant is native to wetlands and marshes, making it an excellent choice for creating lush, vibrant landscapes. With its tall, arching blades reaching heights of 3 to 5 feet, Glyceria Maxima adds an impressive vertical element to borders, ponds, and naturalized areas.

The grass features soft, slender leaves that are bright green and glossy, creating a stunning contrast against its delicate flower spikes. From late spring to summer, it produces feathery, airy flower heads that sway gently in the breeze, adding movement and texture to your garden. These spikes can range in color from creamy white to pale pink, offering a subtle yet beautiful display.
