Arundo donax
€45.00
Description
Bold, dramatic, and full of movement, Arundo donax is a striking architectural grass that brings height, texture, and a wonderfully exotic feel to the garden. Its tall cane-like stems and broad, arching leaves create a lush, almost tropical effect, making it a brilliant choice where you want planting to feel generous, dynamic, and full of presence.
This is a plant that quickly makes its mark. Whether used as a statement in a large border, to add height near water, or to create a strong backdrop in a sunny space, it brings both structure and softness in equal measure.
Why we love it
- Tall, bold growth with strong architectural impact
- Broad foliage creates a lush, tropical feel
- Brings height, movement, and texture to the garden
- Excellent for adding drama to larger planting schemes
- A beautiful backdrop plant for sunny spaces
Best spot in the garden
Arundo donax grows best in full sun and prefers moist but well-drained soil. It is happiest in a warm, open position with enough space to show off its full height and movement.
It works especially well for:
- Large borders
- Waterside planting
- Exotic or Mediterranean-style gardens
- Back-of-border structure
- Screening in sunny sheltered spaces
What to expect
This is a tall deciduous ornamental grass with strong upright stems and long, arching leaves. As it matures, it creates a bold clump with real presence, adding vertical interest and a soft rustling movement through the season.
In the right setting, it can become a dramatic focal point or a powerful backdrop for lower planting.

Give it room, and it will reward you with real impact.
A lovely choice if you want…
- A tall statement grass with architectural presence
