Cute side shoots

Common name giant reed Family poaceae Life cycle perennial (Z6-11) Flowers purplish (late summer) Size to 20' Light sun Cultural notes prefers moist soil Very tall grass, with corn-like leaves. Ours is still young, and won't get as much water as it would prefer - so I doubt it will reach to its full 20-foot stature. But there's no doubt it will be among the tallest herbaceous perennials in our garden!

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: bogside border
