Miscanthus ‘Andante’ at Digging Dog Nursery

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.

Miscanthus ‘Andante’ (G-0547)

Each 12.75

A sterling Kurt Bluemel introduction, ‘Adante’ spawns strong upright stems clothed in broad green blades, distinctively etched by light central stripes. Pink-blushed plumes mature with silver-laced high-lights, projecting an unbeatable floral effect above graceful loosely arranged and somewhat pendant foliage. This probable Miscanthus transmorrisonensis descendant can frame a view, define a threshold or serve as a large awe-inspiring focal point in the landscape.
