A statuesque grass that will extend the season of interest in a mixed border, this has fine, arching leaves with a distinctive white stripe down the centre. Its flowers are spectacular; reddish brown, silky feathers that rise upwards from their stems and glow in the evening light. This grass is quick to establish and turns a beautiful reddish-brown in autumn. Use it as a feature plant in a mixed or perennial border.
When planting, choose a site in full sun, incorporating organic matter to improve drainage and soil structure.
Water newly planted grasses regularly in their first summer; after that, they become better adapted to dry conditions in open ground. Lift and divide clumps every five years to maintain vigour.
For container-grown Miscanthus, water regularly in summer to prevent drying out. Leave top growth standing through winter and cut back to ground in late February as new shoots emerge.
