Himalaya Fairy Grass
Native to the Himalayas, Miscanthus nepalensis is a very beautiful ornamental grass grown for its delicate silky, creamy flower plumes on display in late summer. Arching gracefully above the lush foliage of green leaves, they persist into the fall and remain architectural throughout winter. A very unusual grass that brings elegance and a long season of interest to the garden. A fabulous focal point in the garden!
