Excellent and hardy
Planted in Cornish hedge to give a little privacy. Allows access to small fence behind if necessary. Love the 'plumes' when in flower.

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

Just to say I have received a very good online service, rapid delivery and I look forward to planting it this weekend on my allotment in a specially made raised bed. Will feed back next year on the quality of the plant.

Hello Marion, There are a number of reasons why plants don't flower including too much shade, not enough water or nutrients, or pruning at the wrong time of the year. It can also be caused by the plant putting on new root growth instead of focusing its energies on producing flowers. I am not really sure why your Miscanthus has not produced flowers, but you can often give them a bit of a push by feeding with a high potash fertiliser. Best regards and thanks for the positive feedback. Helen Plant Doctor
