In a word, breathtaking! 'Chameleon' is unlike any other SCHIZACHYRIUM, with brilliantly variegated foliage bearing bold vertical stripes of white and green. This striking foliage forms a tight, compact, slightly muddy shape that retains its color throughout the growing season, with increased intensity in the fall when cooler weather allows it to add shades of pink and red to its color palette.
