Miscanthus Sinensis - (Chinese Silver Grass) - This ornamental grass is easy to establish from seed and is easy to maintain. Miscanthus grass has long, silky tresses of shining silvery-cream all summer long. In fall, the cold weather turns them deep gold, for a long-lasting colorful display in the landscape or the vase. This variety of miscanthus can grow up to 98 inches tall and may spread 36 inches wide. It prefers full sun and can be used as screen, hedge, or specimen planting. Miscanthus is a perennial grass so you don't have to worry about replanting it. The foliage is dark green at the bottom, shading to rich russet near the top of the slender, erect stalks. The plumes will bend over slightly and wave in the breeze creating a very nice rippled effect.
