I live in Surprise AZ right now but when I had my gardens in Minnestoa, miscanthus was one of my favorites in the back of one of my berms. I love how it poofs out when brought in the house. I would love to find someone in this area that has miscanthus as I have a large urn that I would like to put some in. Anyone have some they would like to sell?
Thanks so much.

I struggle to keep miscanthus from one year to the next. I was so shocked to see a miscanthus with beautiful leaves like what you have here – I would love to grow that but sadly it would never survive here. The striped orange leaves are amazing.

I took out an entire row of Miscanthus this year because they were just such a chore to keep contained. I’ve been regretting that decision, though, because I miss their fall/winter color show so much. If Adagio is more of a dwarf variety, I might have to add some of those back into the mix along my garage wall.

Since reading your post Pam I know what to expect from my “Adagio”. I have it in a pot for the time being. I like to watch a new plant to see what it will do in my garden.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Wow those colors are rich! Might just have to check this one out for myself.

Happy Holidays Pam, I hope you and your family have a wonderful time. Thank you for all of your support this past year!

This ornamental grass would fit right in with your foliage-rich garden, Loree. It would be interesting to know if/how a different climate would affect the fall show. Have a warm and merry Christmas, Loree! —Pam

Fabulous colours in your miscanthus, Pam; I get similar shades in M. purpurascens (purple flame grass) but of course by now they’re all turned to tan and brown.

Jodi, I love that name—purple flame grass. I can just imagine those fall colors! —Pam

That looks like a grass I might try here.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas. Looking forward to learning more from you, next year.

Hi, Linda. Yes, I’m sure miscanthus would do well for you too. But you might want to keep a close eye on it for invasive tendencies (see Diana’s comment above). Merry Christmas to you too! —Pam
