Miscanthus sinensis ‘Variegatus’


Variegated Miscanthus

 USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 8.270.430


Also known as Japanese Silver Grass, there are many selections now available, all providing a wonderful fall display of showy plumes, and remaining attractive all winter. This variety has large deep-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. Trim to the ground in late winter or early spring. Clumps may be divided in spring before new growth appears.
