Arundo donax

A clump forming rhizomatous reed like perennial, variegated and green forms available.

Height: Up to 4 metres

Hardiness: Very hardy should survive all but the worst winters in this area

Propagation: Divide roots in late spring or root sections of stem in water and then pot on in mid summer.

Notes: A very impressive plant particularly the variegated variety, although clump forming does not appear to be too invasive, a good substitute for bamboo in the smaller garden.
