It's an ornamental grass, about maybe 12" tall, 24" around...
They're in our flower beds and I really like them - my friend wants to know what they are and I've thrown out the landscaper's drawings/plans.

Not sure what it is, but around here it is called varigated monkey grass. Carolyn will probably know for sure.

That's what we call it too!

well it sure is pretty, now I'm gonna have to go google varigated monkey grass

edit...ok google search says
The most commonly used variety of monkey grass is Liriope muscari. This clumping form is often used as edging for beds, borders, and walkways. Most of these produce lovely purple-spiked blooms and dark purple berries; however, there is also a white-flowering variety as well.

Paulette, I was going to say Lirope too. It must be a Maryland thing.
