Turfgrass Information

Silver Arrow Grass, Miscanthus Sinensis ‘Silberfeil’

Big Bluestem

Full Sun, Warm-season

This variegated variety is very similar to ‘Variegatus’ and has nice upright foliage with good winter display. One of the last grasses to put up flowers in the fall, but very pretty once it does.
