Ornamental grasses are fantastic as a contrast against other perennials, introducing movement, sound and softening hard landscaping. Miscanthus sinensis ‘Hermann Mussel’ is perfect for adding architecture to the back of a border, but also an excellent option for prairie style planting, or a sensory garden where the glaucous leaves will sway on the breeze. Add stems to a cut flower arrangement for a dramatic effect.Growing to a mature height of 1.8m and spread of 1m, Miscanthus sinensis ‘Hermann Mussel’, will nimbly cascade, creating a showy fountain-like structure of silvery-grey, flag-like flowers that mature in autumn to a pinkie hue. Thriving in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil and benefiting from being drought tolerant once established. A low maintenance and hardy herbaceous perennial that will easily naturalise over time and will not require additional winter protection.
