Miscanthus sinensis 'Huron Star' PP22468
Miscanthus s. 'Huron Star' PPAF is an incredibly tall selection. It's even taller than 6'3 Kevin!
Common Name: Ornamental Grass, Miscanthus
This brand new Miscanthus cultivar comes to us from celebrated grass expert, Martin Quinn.
Compared to the older cultivar 'Silberfeder', this grass is similar but with a few notable improvements such as a stronger and more upright habit, purple flowering stems, and brighter fall color. The green leaves have a narrow white midrib and form an upright vase-like clump.
In late summer, large coppery seed heads turn into fluffy creamy tan panicles which are carried atop purple stems well above the foliage. In fall, the foliage turns colorful shades of red, orange, burgundy, and gold.
This is a very tall ornamental grass that is suitable en masse as a backdrop in the landscape or planted singly as a focal point.
Miscanthus is versatile from a design standpoint; it can be used as a specimen, for massing or screening, in large containers, or at the pond's edge. Plant this grass where its wonderful winter interest can be enjoyed.
