Description
Common Name: Ornamental grass
This grass was selected for its flowering performance earlier in the season. Encore is a perfect choice for northern climates, where the growing season is shorter. Since it blooms so early, this ornamental grass has a chance for an encore performance, shooting up a secondary flush of coppery purple plumes before frost hits. The flowers turn to a creamy tan color with age. This perennial forms a tall, upright clump of dark green leaves with white midribs. Miscanthus is great for addding winter interest in the garden.
