Oktoberfest Maiden Grass
Zone 5
In comparison to older Miscanthus varieties, 'Oktoberfest' blooms sooner and also develops its beautiful fall colour earlier in the season. This is a gorgeous tall, upright grass with wide, deep green, cascading leaves with a white midrib. In late summer the foliage turns deep purple, flushed with red and orange. Large, showy flower plumes emerge copper and burgundy, maturing to creamy tan. Outstanding as a specimen, mass planted or used as screening. Provides great ornamentation in the winter garden. HEIGHT: 180-215 cm SPREAD: 140-150 cm
General Information Miscanthus
A wonderful group of grasses. Tall, bold and imposing. Will produce a showy fountain of grassy foliage set with tall, highly ornamental flower plumes later in the season. Provides outstanding architecture and colour from late summer, right through the winter. One of the best winter-interest perennials. Easily grown in sun to part shade, in moist, well drained soil. Once established quite drought tolerant. Makes a great impact as an accent specimen or in a group.
