Miscanthus Sinensis Var. Condensatus ‘Cosmopolitan’

The leaves of this handsome ornamental grass are striped green and white along their length, so from a distance, they create a light, shimmering effect, that really makes them stand out amongst a sea of green. Try not to overcrowd these plants though, as if given space, they will naturally form a fountain-like clump, which has a wonderful, architectural appeal. It will also add movement every time it catches the lightest breeze. The pink-flushed flowerheads, which appear in profusion after a long, hot summer, are the icing on the cake!
