Miscanthus sinensis 'Graziella' (20)ct Flat
Common Name: Grass-Ornamental, Graziella Miscanthus
Zone 5 to 9, Full sun to part shade
Plants reach 5 to 6 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide.
Similar in appearance to M. 'Gracillimus', this cultivar was selected specifically for its earlier flowering time and fall color. Its thin, upright, green leaves form arching mounds and turn copper-red in the fall. In late summer, soft silvery-white plumes are held high above the foliage and sweep in the wind.
Miscanthus is versatile from a design standpoint; it can be used as a specimen, for massing or screening, in large containers, or at the pond's edge. Plant this grass where its wonderful winter interest can be enjoyed.
Miscanthus is easy to grow and is a good choice for beginners. It will grow in most any soil, from loose sand to heavy clay, and does not require good drainage. Grow this grass in full sun except in warmer regions where some afternoon shade is best. Fertilization is not necessary.
Divide Miscanthus in spring or early summer to give it time to establish its roots before winter arrives. Only in the mildest of climates should it be divided in the fall.
