Miscanthus transmorrisonensis

(EVERGREEN MAIDEN GRASS) Dramatic and dynamic, this beauty keeps its narrow, curving foliage down to about 15 °F. The leaves have vertical silver striping and give this clumper a shimmery, silver presence. Plants reach 3-4’ tall and wide; golden arches (where’s Ronald?) topped with feathery mercury colored flower culms add another 2’. Touted as the best Miscanthus for the west coast by grass guru John Greenlee, this fast growing gets thumbs up here! Sun to part shade, most soils, drought tolerant but best looking with water when dry. Nice specimen in large pot. Deer resistant.
