Miscanthus 'Andante' (Maiden Grass)

SunZone: 5-9 90" tall Origin: China

This superb Kurt Bluemel introduction has become our favorite miscanthus to use as a large specimen. The green leaves, with a pronounced central stripe, are arranged to give the effect of a lovely weeping habit. In reality, the sturdy 7'+ clumps are topped from late summer through fall with a stunning plume display. Because of the rebloom trait, we suspect M. transmorrisonensis to be the daddy. This is one of those grasses that you simply can't appreciate until you see it in person...a real winner. In our trials, this has not produced any stray garden seedlings. Pot size: 2 qt. (1.892 L)
