Beautiful interplanted with white-flowered Mazus. In early summer the foliage turns yellow, and plants go dormant until next spring. Because of this disappearing act, interplant Bluebells with other natives, such as Green and Gold or Eastern Native Columbine. Avoid planting where water collects for extended periods or in soils with poor drainage. Several ornamental species of this grass offer a graceful backdrop to other perennials and shrubs.
Peak performance occurs in the fall, when showy, silky panicles appear.
Great for dried floral arrangements. Plants quickly ascend to 12' by early summer, and a living wall is created right before your eyes. You can practically hear the plants grow. We created a living wall or screen with this Miscanthus combined with the contrasting foliage of Anise, Hemlock, and Cryptomeria. In early fall, plumes rise even higher and add to the drama of this grass.
