Miscanthus Hinjo
A zebra grass, alluding to the horizontal stripes along its leaves, Miscanthus Hinjo is a striking addition to the garden. Compact, with upright stems and narrow arching leaves, it bears silky panicles that open a silvery grey before changing to pinky bronze in autumn and fading to silver. Remaining on the plant over winter, they provide wispy movement in the garden.
- Pot size: 2L
- Height and Spread: 150cm (4ft 11in) x W: 100cm (3ft 3in) in 2-5 years

Miscanthus is a tolerant, deciduous hardy perennial with an erect habit that offers great versatility in the garden. It looks wonderful as a specimen or planted in groups as a screen, but equally looks effective in a large pot on a terrace.
