Miscanthus sinensis 'Saccharaflorus'

The Miscanthus group of grasses should, in our opinion be known as the King of grasses. A very adaptable & diverse range of cultivars, all of which are reliable. Having a wide range of heights & structure plus finger like flower heads with a subtle range of colours which are produced very late in the autumn, and last well into the winter. They all require full sun in any soil and will grow in the same spot for many years quietly increasing from a central clump, but not running or becoming invasive. Suitable for mass plantings, use as a single specimen, or even in large containers

'Saccharaflorus' or the sugar cane or elephant grass is a real giant! broad grey-green leaves on really stout bamboo cane like stems. Quickly gets up to its height of 3m or more the warmer and wetter the summer the better for this grass. We have used this as a screen or even a hedge and is great in a good heavy container with a really tropical look about it. Not known for its white flowers but for its stature.

Ht 3m x Sp 2m

These grasses are supplied in 2ltr pots ready to plant out
