Grass metres tall! The silver grass 'Variegatus' (Miscanthus sinensis) can grow up to 1.6 metres tall. The ornamental grass is winter-hardy and doesn't need much maintenance. Ideal for a garden or border. We can plant this plant all year round. Provided temperatures don't go below freezing. The plant blooms with lovely plumes in the summer months.
The plant does not require pruning. Just cut away the dead leaves. Put the plant somewhere in the sun. Silver grass thrives in moist soil. Give it extra water during dry periods.

If you buy perennials in autumn they might not look quite as beautiful as usual, because autumn is when they lose their leaves. The big benefit of planting perennials in autumn is that by spring they will be well rooted in the garden and ready to burst into growth.
