Grass Miscanthus mix - 19cm

Miscanthus are reliable, highly ornamental grasses that provide interest over a long period. Fountains of foliage grow up in early summer and bear plumes of flowers in late summer. As winter approaches these bleach into shades of biscuity brown. Tall cultivars suit the back of borders and smaller cultivars mingle well in beds with plants with bold, colourful flowers. Mounds of arching green leaves, sometimes striped, develop warm orange or red tints in autumn. The stems carry a haze of feathery flowers in late summer to autumn. Flowers can be white or pink, and some cultivars have bands of horizontally or longitudinal striped leaves in creamy-white or yellow. It is an ideal statement plant for a sunny spot in a mixed border. Miscanthus is hardy and easy to grow.
