Hybridized and selected for its heavy flower production and perfect habit all season, ‘Autumn Anthem’ is the epitome of fall blooming Miscanthus. It forms a dense, rounded ball-shaped clump of finely textured, dark green leaves with a narrow, white midrib and is nearly equal in height and spread.
Before blooming, the foliage stands about 3 ½’ tall. In early to mid-fall, a profusion of feathery, cream colored plumes cover the top 2/3 of the plant. There are plenty to use for cut flowers and dried flower bouquets.
Be sure to leave this grass standing so it can provide winter interest through the snowy months.
Miscanthus is versatile from a design standpoint; it can be used as a specimen, for massing or screening, in large containers, or at the pond's edge. Plant this grass where its wonderful winter interest can be enjoyed.
