Arundo formosana 'Oriental Gold' PP15,489 (Oriental Gold Giant Reed) - Native Chinese selection of the Giant Reed forms large clumps from which emerge arching stems of golden yellow foliage. Brilliant golden foliage with irregular green stripes grace the 8 foot long slightly-arching stems. Late summer into fall terminal blooms are light and airy, opening pink and turning a buff color. Works well in containers. This selection of the giant reed is a perfect choice for a dramatic accent or used in the background. Ideally suited in full sun to partial shade. Evergreen in mild winters to dormant in more severe. Cold hardy to 20 degrees F. Greg Speichert discovered this plant in a garden in Cedar Lake, Ind. in 1994. It was a naturally occurring cane sport of an unvariegated form of Arundo formosana.
