Miscanthus sinensis ‘Hermann Mussel’

A striking, upright ornamental grass forming a dense clump of narrow green leaves, topped in late summer by elegant, feathery flower plumes that mature to warm silvery tones. Its strong vertical habit and excellent autumn display make it a superb choice for adding height, movement, and structure to sunny borders.
