Arundo donax 'variegata'

Variegated Giant Reed Grass

Hardy in Zones 6-11, Arundo donax variegata is usually sought after for its tropical looking white & green foliage which almost gives a bamboo like effect. The variegated species is shorter than the pure green Arundo donax, making it more suitable for smaller ponds.
