Arundo donax is a decorative water grass that is perfect for landscaping the banks of large water bodies, ponds, and streams. The plant has an upright bush with smooth stems up to 179 cm high, which are slightly curved and hairy at the base. Leaves are linear, green, without visible damage, and spikes are gathered into dense, ear-like panicles up to 20 cm long.
Species features include the absence of awns and a weak waxy coating on the leaves. Spikes are flat, egg-shaped, and seeds have an elongated shape and a gray-brown hue. The plant is characterized by high bush density and resistance to diseases and pests, making it a reliable element of landscape design.
Arundo donax is easy to grow in containers on the shallow zone of a water body, at a depth of 5–20 cm from the water level. Due to its decorativeness and resistance to winter conditions, plants do not require removal with water in the cold period. This makes them an ideal choice for those who want to add a picturesque green element without extra care worries.
