GOLDEN CHAIN GIANT REED GRASS

Arundo donax 'Golden Chain', often referred to as Golden Chain Giant Reed, is a striking, more compact cultivar of the towering giant reed species. Known for its bold architectural impact, this ornamental grass features wide, arching blades elegantly striped with bright gold and deep green. While the standard species can reach unruly heights, 'Golden Chain' is much more manageable, typically topping out at 5 to 6 feet tall. It creates a dense, bamboo-like screen that is perfect for adding a tropical flair to temperate gardens or acting as a dramatic, variegated backdrop for shorter perennials.

Care for 'Golden Chain' Giant Reed Grass is centered around providing full sun to ensure the golden variegation remains vibrant and the stems stay strong. It is a highly adaptable plant that thrives in a wide range of soils, though it particularly flourishes in moist, well-drained areas and can even tolerate occasional flooding. Unlike some more delicate grasses, this reed is notably heat-tolerant and resistant to most pests and deer. To maintain its tidy appearance, cut the canes back to the ground in late winter or early spring before the new shoots emerge from the rhizomes, as the previous year's growth will turn brown and dormant in colder climates.
