{"title":"Dichromena","description":"\u003cp\u003eDichromena is a charming \u003ca title=\"perennial ornamental grasses\" href=\"\/collections\/decorative-ornamental-grasses-tall-small-dwarf-plant-varieties\"\u003eperennial ornamental grass\u003c\/a\u003e-like plant in the sedge family (Cypereaceae) with a distinctive white flower head. Several Dichromena species including Dichromena latifolia are native to the Southeast US from Virginia to Texas in riparian areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMicheaux's Latin description used the Latin words \"dis\" and \"chroma\" meaning \"discolored\" but somehow the genus name Dichromena reads as \"di\" \"chroma\" or \"two-colored\". It doesn't matter though because both terms apply to this native ornamental grass with its green stems and pure white flower heads that are held atop the plant for a lengthy period in spring and summer. Unlike most ornamental grasses for sale, Dichromena flowers attract butterflies.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLike most sedges, Dichromena prefers a moist site and makes a great bog and shallow aquatic plant. The plants spread widely via rhizomes and if you divide the plants you will have plenty to share with friends. Dichromena stems dry to an attractive brown color with a papery texture and look great in dried ornamental grass arrangements. Try combining Dichromena with other bog plants such as Sabatia and Pogonia for attractive color combinations.
