Plant description
An ornamental grass providing a stunning display as summer takes hold with airy golden plumes arising on tall, slender stems high above lush mounded foliage. Ribbons of green leaves cascade in neat arcs, a flowing base for the striking floral spires. Ideal for borders and gravel gardens, the delicate tassels of Miscanthus nepaulensis shine in autumnal sunlight, holding their gilded colour even as their finch-friendly seeds take shape.

This grass dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
