Miscanthus x giganteus

Giant Miscanthus is substantial both in size and in good looks. It grows in a 10-foot, arching shape with deep green, wide leaves. In September, fluffy, fan-like plumes emerge above the foliage bringing the height to 12 feet. Foliage turns a deep burnt orange and fades to tan as winter approaches offering a giant expanse of winter interest in the landscape. Because of its size, Miscanthus x giganteus is a wonderful plant to use as a screen or accent. It is best to allow plenty of room to let this plant grow as it may be difficult to dig up once it reaches maturity. This Miscanthus produces sterile seed.
