Miscanthus x giganteus will make a bold statement in the garden with its large upright clumps of wide, arching foliage. By autumn, the flower stalks rise to over 10 feet tall. The pink plumes gradually change to silver as they age. Giant Silver Grass gives a very tropical, exotic look to the landscape. Although it grows fast vertically, it is a slow-spreading plant that is sterile and non-invasive. A naturally occurring triploid hybrid of Miscanthus sinensis x M. sacchariflorus.

Homeowner Growing Tips: A very adaptable plant, and tolerant of most conditions, but prefers full sun and moist, well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Does not require supplemental fertilizing. Some shade may be appreciated in hot climates. Cut close to the ground in late winter. This is also the time to divide, if necessary.
