Arundo donax Varigata

Arundo donax ‘Variegata’ is a bold, architectural ornamental grass valued for its tall bamboo-like canes and striking green leaves striped with creamy white. This variegated selection brings strong vertical interest and a dramatic, tropical feel to the landscape, especially near water features or as a seasonal screen. It performs best in full sun and moist to well-drained soil, growing vigorously during the warm season. Hardy in USDA Zones 7–10, it can reach 10–15 feet tall and wide, and is best used where its size and energy can be managed thoughtfully.
