A Bit More

Miscanthus ‘Purpurascens’ is a perennial ornamental grass known for its striking red-orange fall foliage and silvery plumes. It prefers full sun and moist soil but tolerates drought once established. Excellent for screening, massing plantings, containers, borders, screens, ponds. Dies back in winter, but should not be cutback till new growth appears in spring so as to appreciate the fall/winter interest.
