How to Plant and Care for Miscanthus sinensis

When you buy Miscanthus sinensis, you’re investing in a reliable garden performer. Plant in a sunny or partially shaded position for best results. Ensure the site has good drainage, and water well until your grass is established. Each season, cut back the old stems in late winter or early spring as new shoots emerge. This will encourage lush, fresh growth and help the clump stay tidy and vigorous.

One of the delights of Miscanthus sinensis is its versatility. Use in mass plantings for a naturalistic look, combine with flowering perennials for subtle contrast, or use as a feature specimen in garden beds. Pairing with berry plants such as Blueberry 'Pink Icing' can create an ornamental and edible landscape solution.
