Arundo Ely

Perfect for rock gardens, flowerbeds and other small areas of the garden, Arundo donax Ely is a dwarf variety of ornamental grass. It is often used around ponds and streams and makes an ideal background for shorter flowering plants.

Arundo donax Ely has a clump-forming habit with elongated arching leaves emerging from strong stems. The light green foliage is variegated with creamy stripes, producing an eye-catching effect. It is rare to see Arundo donax Ely flowering in this country, but if and when it does, silvery-purple feather like flowers bloom in Summer.

Although Arundo donax Ely is native to the Mediterranean, it is fully hardy against the low temperatures of a British Winter. Requiring very little maintenance, it can tolerate full sun but flourishes best in partial shade.
