Arundo donax 'Golden Chain' (Golden Chain Giant Reed Grass)

Sun to Part SunZone: 7b-9, at least 84" tall Origin: Mediterranean Europe

NEW! This beautiful new UK selection of the giant reed grass makes a great plant and adds a new twist. Arundo 'Golden Chain' was named in the mid-1990's by Liam Mackenzie of the UK's Madrona Nursery as a tissue culture mutation from A. donax 'Versicolor'. A. 'Golden Chain' forms a clump of 7' tall upright stalks of medium green leaves edged in gold. The color holds all season, unlike the larger and more common A. d. 'Versicolor'. Arundo 'Golden Chain' is also a much smaller and less vigorous plant, making propagation more of a chore, but keeping it in scale with smaller gardens. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
