Miscanthus sinensis ‘Variegatus’

A graceful, arching ornamental grass with elegant green leaves boldly striped in creamy-white, creating a soft, luminous effect in the border. In late summer, airy copper-pink flower plumes emerge, maturing to silvery tones and adding height, texture, and movement.
