MORE ABOUT OUR GRASSES.....
This gorgeous grass can grow up to 15' tall (after about the 3rd year) and can reach up to 4' across.
Miscanthus × giganteus, (the Giant Miscanthus) is a sterile hybrid of Miscanthus sinensis and Miscanthus sacchariflorus. Giant Miscanthus is a sterile plant therefore it does not produce seed. It can ONLY be propagated by planting rhizomes. Other Miscanthus species are invasive, and you should never plant those. Often, folks just hear the word Miscanthus and assume that Giant Miscanthus is as invasive as other Miscanthus species, but that’s not true.
It is a perennial grass with bamboo-like stems. This is a grass of monstrous proportions, forming very tall clumps of green leaves, their tips arching gracefully in layers. Useful as a living screen or hedge, bearing cream plumes in the fall. The corn-like stalks turn creamy tan in winter. Clumps are large but well-behaved and as we said noninvasive. Lower leaves tend to wither in late summer, so planting something tall in front is suggested but not necessary. Trim back to the ground in the late fall OR early spring -– power hedge trimmers do a quick job.
As an interesting side note, this plant is becoming widely planted as a source of biomass or biofuel.

Early emergence in April when the soil has reached the perfect growing temperature
Within a matter of a week, more signs of growth appear
In several different areas of our farmette we have planted Miscanthus. Some areas have better drainage, some are lightly shaded, some are heavily shaded. All this is done so we can show you what actually works best.
These plants were the first seasons growth in August. They were planted in this location as a privacy fence
