Botanical: Miscanthus sinensis 'Purpurascens' Description: Commonly referred to, as are most miscanthus, as Feather Reed Grass, Purpurascens grows to a height of 3 to 5 feet. Its primary feature is foliage that turns to a deep, almost purple red in late summer, topped by flower heads of a very light red. Its size and colorful fall color make it a valuable landscape asset and a great source of material for dried-flower arrangements. Medium growth rate. Growing tips: Grasses are easy
to grow, and adapts to most conditions. Feed once a year with a slow
release fertilizer in the spring at a 3-1-2 or 4-1-2 ratio). Mulch with
organic material in the fall to protect roots and shoots from freezing.
Grasses that die back completely in the winter can be cut back in the
very early spring to rejuvenate the plant and evergreen varieties which
survive the winter should only be cleaned up by removing dead growth. Height: 3-5 feet Spread: 2-3 feet Attributes: Accent, landscape specimen, mass planting, rock garden.
