 decoration. Its pale green leaves are striped with white. 



Arundos should be planted in rich, well-drained soil, and not 

 exposed to cold, biting winds. They are effective when planted 

 in isolated groups on the outskirts of the lawn, as their 



characters are there displayed to greater advantage than in the 

 ordinary shrubbery border. They delight in full exposure to the 

 sun, and are benefited by copious supplies of water during the 

 growing season. The best time to transplant and divide them 

 is just before growth commences in spring.
