Huron Sunrise Maiden Grass is well-loved for the profuse amount of blooms it produces. It is a true heavy bloomer, sending beautiful burgundy-hued inflorescences above its green, arching foliage in late summer and into fall. It is a wonderful Miscanthus for screening or as a special specimen. This lovely ornamental grass was developed by Martin Quinn of Ontario, Canada. It is said to be cold tolerant to zone 4.
