A versatile ornamental grass that enhances any garden design, Miscanthus sinensis 'Silver Charm' is known for its graceful form and striking silver-toned flower plumes. A relatively compact variety of Japanese silver grass reaching a height of about 1.5m, it is an excellent choice for smaller gardens, borders, and containers. In late summer and autumn, it produces airy, silvery inflorescences that catch the light, adding a soft, shimmering effect to the landscape. These delicate flowers contrast beautifully with the fine green foliage, which turns golden-yellow in autumn, providing seasonal interest well into the cooler months. Thriving in full sun or partial shade and well-drained soil, 'Silver Charm' is a relatively low maintenance, fully hardy herbaceous perennial requiring only occasional pruning in early spring. It is also known for being drought-tolerant once established, making it a great addition to low-water gardens or xeriscapes.This ornamental grass is a favourite for its elegance and versatility, adding texture and movement to the garden. It also attracts pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity.
