This selection of the evergreen species forms a spectacular specimen in our garden. Miscanthus transmorrisonensis 'Arnin's Weeping' produces dozens of bronze flowering stems that arch outward, sometimes just dusting the ground. Blooms are sequential so the show continues for an extended time. Inflorescences start purple and age to green. The blades are narrow green with a white central vein. Together with the stems they create a cascading rhythm in the landscape. This is only truly evergreen in Zones 7-8.
Late summer to autumn. 5-6 ft. x 8 ft.
Sun Zones 6, 7, 8, 9 |
