Overview

Miscanthus is a species of perennial, clump-forming grasses that do not have invasive spreading rhizomes, so they're easily contained within gardens of all sizes. Although they are hardy, many of them will not flower in cooler European summers, however this one (a sport of Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus') is a particularly elegant and versatile form. Its slender green blades have narrow cream margins, and they arch gently at their tips to create a fountain-like effect. In warm summers, you will also be rewarded with reddish brown flowers that open in October and endure through the winter.

Care guide

Leave top growth standing through winter. Cut back to ground level late February as new shoots appear within the crown.

Please note: This grass dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
