Ornamental Bamboos And Grasses
Spartina townsendii is known as the Mat Weed, its only value being its ability to bind the soil on loose banks of pools and streams.

Zizania aquatica is a very pretty grass for the side of the pond or stream. Although an annual, it will grow six to eight feet high, the reed-like stems producing broad flat leaves and panicles of flowers. Seed is dropped in the water in early spring, and in streams it should be placed where it will not be moved by the current.
