    Description

    A very showy grass for bringing a dramatic touch of class to even the most boring of borders. Also known as a Miscanthus, grow this variety for a fascinating colour-changing show, as arching green leaves turn a seasonal copper-orange from autumn and early winter, before dying back.

    Feathery, almost plume-like flowers erupt deep red in summer, before aging to a striking combination of pink and silver to draw the eye. Grow this impressive grass to fill out or add height to a quiet border, or as a statement piece to attract the attention of any visitor to your garden - and what a statement it will make!

    Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

    Supplied as a set of three established plants in 9cm pots, ready for planting.

    Top Tips

    Cut down to the ground at the end of winter before the new foliage appears.

    Care Information
    • Plant out in a hole that is the same depth as the nursery pot this plant is provided in, allowing room for the roots to stretch and develop further.
    • Will tolerate most fertile soil conditions, but should be moist and well-drained. 
    • Plant in full sun to achieve the most impressive colour on both the blooms and foliage. 
    • To prune, remove any dead foliage and old flowered stems.
    Delivery Information

    Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

    Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

    We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

    Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

    Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

    Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
