Though the green leaves with silver mid-ribs form beautiful clumps, the most outstanding feature of this cultivar is its flowers. In late summer, a profusion of full, burgundy plumes sweep the sky.
The plant maintains its graceful form throughout winter, providing tremendous winter interest. Hardy to zone 4, this variety is great for northern climates.
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.
