Miscanthus sinensis ‘Ferner Osten’
at Digging Dog
If Pygmalion were a gardener, Miscanthus would come to life as fountains, some of them spouting tall and upright to 10 ft. Graceful and robust, they’re favored for their lush foliage and silky terminal panicles. Striking as a single specimen, Miscanthus is also excellent when massed in the perennial bed or a mixed border. Attractive year-round, with fall colors of yellow, purple, scarlet and burgundy, they fade to a lovely warm ivory in winter. Miscanthus sinensis ‘Ferner Osten’ 
Gorgeous deep burgundy flower heads that eventually lighten to a creamy chroma, and sparkling silver midribs invigorate ‘Ferner Osten’s dense, mounded fountain of dark green blades. Introduced by the esteemed German nurseryman Ernst Pagels, this paramount Miscanthus sports a vigorous, yet compact guise that holds its own as a colorful specimen and looks especially sensational when planted in a drift.
Blooms August–November. Size: 4'–5' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 6. AVAILABLE FALL 2013 Miscanthus sinensis ‘Ferner Osten’ (G-0042)
