Try a row of fast-growing ornamental grass around your seating areas to slow down the wind, block nosy neighbors and add seclusion, rustling soothing sound and motion! used as a long hedge, flanking an entryway or hiding errant water meters or other eyesores.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Miscanthus needs full sun to keep stems from flopping or falling flat, so provide a minimum of 6 hours full sun per day in a well-drained location. Their fast growth rate needs ample moisture to support them and tolerates almost any type of soil. Leave up for winter interest, most gardeners tie their grasses into bundles and by early spring, before you see new growth, cut these bundles off a few inches above the ground and gently rake through the stubble to clean out debris and leaves that may clog the mound.
- Full Sun
- Loves Average to Moist Soil
- Tolerates Any Well-Drained Site
- Prune Warm-Season Grasses in Late Winter or Early Spring
- Hardy & Easy Care
