Smaller size, but all the floaty-light featheriness of its bigger sibling in a soft buff-bronze palette. Elegant arching foliage topped with plumes of flower-seed-heads in summer to autumn, and green leaves that take on spicy tones as the weather cools.

Looks perfect with other grasses and in big drifts in prairie-style plantings. Miscanthus grows in almost any soil, any location; give it plenty of sun and don't let its roots get soggy in winter for best flowering and health.
