Arundo dolax 'Ely'

Arundo donax 'Ely' grows less tall than the species.

Also has an upright growth but with white-edged broad leaves.

Here in our regions it does not bloom, but it does bloom in warmer regions.

Requires moist, nutrient-rich soil, a warm sunny spot and well sheltered from wind.

In the winter make sure that he does not get wet feet because that would be disastrous for this arrow reed.

It is better to prune it in the fall and cover it for the winter.

In the spring it will emerge again, but it is late.
