Arundo donax variegata
Arundo donax variegata is a tall grass with wide leaves often 2 to 3
inches wide. It is often considered a great substitute for bamboo. Once
mature plants can reach 10 to 15 feet with a large showy bloom at the
end of summer usually held several feet above the foliage. This form
emerges almost totally white in spring and as summer progresses becomes
more lime green to yellow and fades to a light green by very late
summer. Plants can grow in soil to bog situations and will form a large
clump with age. A great addition for people wanting a tropical look in
cooler climates. Plants can handle zone 5 and higher. Plants sold in 3
to 4 inch pots.
