Miscanthus
If Pygmalion were a gardener, Miscanthus would come to life as fountains, some of them spouting tall and upright to 10 feet. Graceful and robust, they’re favored for their luxuriant foliage and silky terminal panicles. Striking as singular specimens, Miscanthus are also excellent when massed in the perennial bed or a mixed border. Attractive throughout most of the year, with yellow, purple, scarlet and burgundy fall colors, they fade to a lovely warm ivory in winter.
One of the finest summer-blooming Miscanthus, this hearty Ernest Pagels creation draws its namesake from the grand cascading blooms. Rosy colored and large, measuring nearly 10 in. long, the early-to-unfurl inflorescences feature pendent openly arranged branches lolling a good ways beyond the foliage. Narrow leaves don white midribs, while shaping an upright pillar that come autumn blazes coppery reds and finally bleaches to pewter, in perfect harmony with the mature silvery buff racemes. Eupatorium’s reddish purple domes offer contrasting flower shapes and a union of similar colors.
