Arundo Donax Variegata is what you have, Alphie. It can be
propagated by seed or division. Division of ornamental grasses is
generally done in very early spring just before they start new
growth. This one wants sun and moist soil. The species is
considered a weed in many places, but this one is highly ornamental.
Can get easily 6' tall.
