Miscanthus is a tall, elegant ornamental grass celebrated for its fountain-like growth, fine textured foliage, and spectacular plumes of feathery flower heads. The foliage, which can range from deep green to striking variegated forms, arches gracefully, providing movement and structure. In late summer through autumn, silky, fluffy plumes rise above the foliage, often transitioning into rich bronze or tan shades as they mature, adding dramatic visual interest and texture.
Miscanthus thrives in sunny positions and well-drained soils, making it a versatile choice for borders, modern planting schemes, and prairie-style gardens. Its ability to retain an attractive silhouette into winter ensures it provides year-round beauty.
