An attractive grass variety with year-round interest, Miscanthus ?Gracilimus' is well worth serious consideration. It's a clump forming perennial which is easy to grow and after a long hot summer it really comes into its own with tall flower spikes topped with feathery textured copper coloured plumes which, along with the foliage arch over gracefully. The plumes will remain during the winter so that you can enjoy them left in situ or cut them for winter displays indoors. Height: 130cm (51). Spread: 120cm (47).

From here, the scent can be enjoyed in comfort throughout July, August and September. The hardy perennial is particularly suited to sunny or partially shady cottage gardens, but also makes an excellent cut flower. The blooms can even be used in the kitchen, for their spicy taste adds an interesting flavour to fruit salads and makes an unusual, decorative cake topping. Height: 15cm (6).
