Miscanthus floridulus, sinensis
GRASS MIX HARDY ORNAMENTAL
SKU: 799-020
Description
This mix includes seeds from Giant Miscanthus Floridulus, Silver Fountain Grass, and Feather Reed grass. These grasses are clumping, and are not invasive.
Please see the germination information below, as these seeds are challenging to grow, and require a cold period before they can grow.
Type: Hardy perennials
Height: 4-12', varies by variety
Location: Sun or part sun
Hardiness zones: 4-9
Seeds per pack: 20
Germination: Start these seeds right away for best germination rates. Start indoors. Your planting container should have holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
