Miscanthus Ornamental Grass Seed

6- to 7-foot oriental fountain grass with long, arching silvery-cream plumes turning rich gold in autumn.

One of the easiest and most adaptable Fountain Ornamental Grasses, Miscanthus Sinensis Grass (Eulalia), an Oriental hybrid, sports long, silky tresses of shining silvery-cream all summer long. In autumn, the cold weather turns them deep gold, for a long-lasting colorful display in the landscape or the vase.

Reaching 6 to 7 feet tall and spreading 3 feet wide in the sunny garden, this perennial ornamental grass is useful as a screen, hedge, or specimen planting. The foliage is dark green at the bottom, shading to rich russet near the top of the slender, erect stalks. The plumes arch over slightly, creating a lovely rippled effect in the breeze.

Miscanthus ornamental grass has a clump forming habit in which the leaves grow up and then cascade out and down like a fountain. The old foliage should be cut back to the ground before Spring to let the new foliage emerge Miscanthus has no frequently occurring disease or pest problems, and is very hardy once established.
