Spectacular in its transformation, Miscanthus will anchor a scheme throughout the winter with its distinctive skeleton.
Usually found towering at the back of the border, Miscanthus really comes into its own in the autumn, when its feathery silver panicles unwind from its upright foliage. In shades of claret, red, purple and brown, the bold arching flowers fade through pink to silver, becoming fluffy with age.
The tight clumps of narrow foliage also change colour in winter, turning orange, copper, rust and cinnamon.
