An eye-catching mix of arching bright green leaves with a central white stripe, turning golden-yellow in autumn, topped with striking red feathery flower panicles in late summer and early autumn makes this a stunning addition to your garden. Known as Chinese Silver Grass, these climate change superheroes also capture and store carbon reducing damaging effects on the environment.Perfectly described by its name, Miscanthus sinensis 'Red Cloud', is a versatile clump forming, compact grass, that will add movement and texture to any garden, working particularly well in smaller gardens or containers, as well as coastal areas. A few cut stems are a wonderful touch to cut flower arrangements.Growing to a mature height and spread of 1m, Miscanthus sinensis 'Red Cloud' will thrive in full sun or dappled shade in moist, well-drained soil and once established, benefits from being drought tolerant. Classed as fully hardy H7, no winter protection is required although they do not like excessive winter wet.
