Looking for a nice z4/5 grass that likes wet feet?

Fond Du Lac, WI(Zone 5a)

Can anyone recommend a tall grass that will grow happily in a ditch that's the lowest point in the yard? The area floods a couple times a year and is damp most other times (unless there is a dry spell which WI is known to have sometimes). I'd like to flank my driveway with something pretty. :)

Keaau, HI

How about Phragmites australis 'Variegatus. It likes moist to boggy soil, can get as tall as 8 ft. (usually less), hardy to zone 4.
