Description
Common Name: Ornamental grass, Chinese Silver grass, Japanese Silver grass, Silver feather grass
In late summer, large silvery seed heads turn into fluffy creamy tan panicles which are carried atop purple stems well above the foliage. In fall, the foliage turns colorful shades of red, orange, burgundy, and gold.
This is a very tall ornamental grass that is suitable en masse as a backdrop in the landscape or planted singly as a focal point.
Miscanthus is versatile from a design standpoint; it can be used as a specimen, for massing or screening, in large containers, or at the pond’s edge. Plant this grass where its wonderful winter interest can be enjoyed
