A graceful and architectural ornamental grass, Miscanthus sinensis ‘China’ is celebrated for its reliable structure and superb autumn colour.

From spring onwards, it forms a dense, upright clump of narrow, olive-green leaves, each marked with a distinctive white midrib. As the season progresses, the foliage transforms, taking on warm coppery-red and orange tints that glow in the low autumn light.

In late summer, tall, elegant stems rise above the leaves, bearing silky, reddish-brown flower plumes. These slowly fade to a shimmering silver-grey, providing spectacular winter interest when frosted. An RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, this fully hardy grass is ideal for adding movement and height to sunny borders or screening.

Summer flowering. Best in a sunny position in well-drained soil. Height & spread: 150cm x 90cm (5′ x 3′).
