The
Miscanthus sinensis Grosse Fontäne originates in Asia, belongs to the Poaceae family and is an ornamental grass with
medium / large growth. In fact, its height also reaches around 1.60 mt and if planted in optimal conditions can reach 1.80 / 2 mt.
This
ornamental grass appears as a clump of
leafy, thin and very long leaves, which tend to bend to the ends, green. In September, the leaves take on the typical
autumn and reddish colors, while in winter, when covered with frost, they give an almost surreal landscape. From the base are born long and rigid stems that will bring the typical inflorescence of these plants to the top: a
brown / beige ear that will slowly open and show
silvery reflections.
How to use the
Miscanthus sin. Grosse Fontane in your garden? Well ... seeing his height will surely be perfect in a
mixed bed, positioned as a background to other weeds, such as
Pennisetum Viridescens,
Miscanthus sin. Little Zebra,
Miscanthus Kleine Silberspinne or
Pennisetum Orientale.
Or it is very suitable for making a
hedge of soft and sinuous effect, or to create a corner in the garden, a "see, I do not see."
With this plant, belonging to
ornamental grasses, there will be
no maintenance concerns as it is very
resistant to drought, disease, and
only asks for a
potaure in March, carried out at the base of the plants with a scissor bush, to remove the leaves dry.
These features will certainly lead to
maintenance costs being reduced, so ornamental grasses are indicated for both public parks, roadblocks and private gardens.
