An ornamental grass providing a stunning display as summer takes hold with airy golden plumes arising on tall, slender stems high above lush mounded foliage. Ribbons of green leaves cascade in neat arcs, a flowing base for the striking floral spires. Ideal for borders and gravel gardens, the delicate tassels of Miscanthus nepaulensis shine in autumnal sunlight, holding their gilded colour even as their finch-friendly seeds take shape.
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.
