Miscanthus sinensis

Miscanthus sinensis, also known as Chinese silver grass, is a species of ornamental grass native to eastern Asia. It is a popular choice for gardeners due to its attractive appearance, hardiness and ease of care. The plant typically grows to a height of around 1.5 to 2 metres and produces tall, feathery plumes of flowers in late summer and autumn. The leaves are long and narrow, with a green or silver colour depending on the variety. Miscanthus sinensis prefers well-drained soil and full sun but can tolerate some shade and drought once established. It is often used as a focal point in garden borders or as a screen or windbreak.
