GRASS GIANT JAPANESE SILVER GRASS
Miscanthus floridulus
SKU: 33-015
Description
This grass grows up to 12' tall!!! This Giant Miscanthus floridulus features include soft, silky plumes, and extremely long grass blades hang from the main stem, and cascade about 4' long! This plant is extremely hardy, to -30C (zone 4), and has been nick-named 'Canadian Bamboo'! Stems can be used as stakes, like bamboo, so they are extra handy. Very beautiful, it forms neat dense clumps, and will not invade surrounding areas. Rare and hard to find, very popular. Please see the germination information below, as Giant Miscanthus seeds require a cold period before they can grow.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 12'
Location: Sun or part sun
Hardiness zones: 4-9
Seeds per pack: 15
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6-8 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 60-120 days after the warming period, though it can vary.
