A giant for the garden. Miscanthus x giganteus is a hybrid form that is sterile and so will not self seed.

Not offered regularly but worth growing if you have the position. Miscanthus x giganteus tolerates frost, wet conditions and all soil types but will need some moisture to do well.

Beautiful silver blue upright foliage is this native grass' main feature. We've loved this grass ever since we acquired it over 15 years ago. It can reach over 150cm in good soil, less in poorer soils. Tough.

An existing new form of 'Little Bluestem'. All forms of this grass grow exceptionally well in our gravel garden. 'Chameleon' makes a striking upright plant to 60cm in Summer when it is a bright white and green striped grass. As Autumn approaches and night time temperatures fall the tips of the leaves flush with pink. When the graceful burgundy seed heads appear in mid Autumn the plant takes a purple hue. A grass for all seasons. Requires full sun and good drainage.
