Try something like this:

 

public List<String> SList {
get {
if (SList == null) {

SList = new List<String>();
Schema.DescribeFieldResult field = Object.customfield__c.getDescribe();
for (Schema.PicklistEntry f : field.getPicklistValues())
SList.add(f.getLabel());
}
return SList;
}
set;
}

getPicklistValues : Returns a list of PicklistEntry objects. A runtime error is returned if the field is not a picklist.

 

and i need the description of field... not the possible values
