Miscanthus Giganteus

Description

Miscanthus giganteus is an extraordinary ornamental grass, famous for its towering height and graceful, arching form. The slender, green leaves are highlighted by a silvery sheen, adding texture and movement to the garden. In late summer to fall, the plant produces feathery, airy flower heads that rise above the foliage, creating an attractive display that catches the breeze and adds seasonal interest.

Preferring full sun and well-drained, fertile soil, Miscanthus giganteus is a low-maintenance grass that thrives in a variety of garden settings. It is particularly well-suited for use as a screen, windbreak, or hedge, but can also be used to add height and structure to garden beds or naturalistic landscapes. Hardy in USDA zones 5-9, it is drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for low-maintenance, water-efficient gardens. Whether planted for its dramatic height, unique texture, or ornamental beauty, Miscanthus giganteus makes a bold statement in any garden.
