Miscanthus Ferner Osten 5 Litre Pot

Miscanthus sinensis 'Ferner Osten'

Graceful ornamental grass with rich red flower plumes

Miscanthus 'Ferner Osten' is a striking deciduous ornamental grass prized for its upright, arching green foliage and bold, ruby-red flower heads that appear in late summer and age to silvery-pink. It brings dynamic movement, height, and texture to borders, prairie-style planting, and contemporary gardens.

This compact Miscanthus variety is smaller than some other cultivars, making it perfect for smaller spaces or front-of-border planting. It remains tidy and clump-forming, turning golden-yellow in autumn before dying back for winter. A pollinator-friendly plant that also works beautifully in dried arrangements.
