An interesting and much smaller Miscanthus growing to just 80cm but with the same fine clumps of architectural foliage. Large numbers of attractive silky brown-red flower spikes emerge from the clumps late in the season, fading to silver by winter at which time the foliage has turned to light brown after the frosts – still giving form and height in the garden.
This is a great plant for the smaller garden where some Miscanthus varieties may become too tall, their form looks great all season and they go well in mixed borders or simply with other grasses. This plant is also suitable for larger containers.
Miscanthus sinensis Yakushima Dwarf is best planted in full sun, they thrive in any well drained soil and are tough and easy to grow without being invasive.
