Silver Arrow Miscanthus

 USDA Zone: 6-9

(’silberpfeil’ = Silver Arrow) AAlso known as Japanese Silver Grass, there are many selections now available, all providing a wonderful fall display of showy plumes that remain attractive all winter. This variety has large soft-pink flowers over an arching mound of green and white striped leaves. The foliage dries and turns a light tan shade for the winter. Useful as a specimen, in the border, or for mass planting. Cut back to 4 inches in early spring. Clumps may be divided in spring before new growth appears.
