‘Variegata’ is a wonderful Arundo, that is much adored for its cream and green, clump forming foliage. Each slender leaflet boasts a tropical feel and elegantly arches outwards, creating drama and architectural form. Easy to maintain and happy to develop in direct sunlight, this half-hardy perennial is just what you need for conservatories, urban and exotic themed gardens. Instantly creating a striking focal point wherever placed, watch it thrive to a height of 180cm, along with a spread of 60cm. Arundo donax 'Variegata' is a half-hardy perennial grass with variegated, green foliage and wide, pale margins. The Giant Reed's exotic, upright stems stretch to an impressive 1.8m (5'11") when fully grown, making it a dramatic addition to patio containers, well-watered pot plants and the backs of sunny borders. Planting Arundo donax var. versicolor outdoors will entail a little extra maintenance, for the plant should be transferred to a warmer, frost-free environment during the winter months. However, the height and architecture this grass brings to the garden will make it well worth the effort. Height: 1.8m (5'11"); Spread: 60cm (2'0"). Variegated forms of Arundo donax are less hardy than the species and require winter protection if intended for outdoor cultivation. Grow Giant reed plants in reliable moist, rich fertile soil. Choose a position in full sun with shelter from strong winds. Alternatively grow Arund plants in large containers in a frost free conservatory.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Dobies products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.
