Arundo donax 'Golden Chain'

Arundo donax 'Golden Chain' is a large growing, clumping grass that has green leaves striped this pale yellow.  Arundo donax 'Golden Chain' is a LARGE ornamental grass that makes an incredibly bold statement in the garden.  Give this beauty some room - it gets BIG - and is a very slowly running (fastly clumping?) grass that can easily reach 15-20' to the top of its bloom spike (early Autumn)  All Arundo donax perform best in rich, moist soil but will tolerate poorer conditions.  Arundo donax 'Golden Chain' grows well in areas that periodically flood (and then drain faily quickly).  'Golden Chain' will over winter above ground stems if temperatures stay in the upper teens or warmer, but can become a big scruffy looking if not pruned back in late winter (all the way to the ground).  This cultivar seems slightly less cold hardy than some others and is slower to get established.
