Miscanthus sinensis 'Silberfeder (Silver Feather Grass)

Miscanthus sinensis ‘Silberfeder’ (Silver Feather Grass)

A tall, graceful ornamental grass known for its elegant arching habit and early-season plumes. Deep green blades are highlighted by distinct silver mid-ribs, adding texture and contrast throughout the growing season.

Large, silvery feathery plumes emerge in midsummer—earlier than many other Miscanthus varieties—and rise above the foliage for a soft, airy display that carries beautifully into fall and winter. Its upright, clumping form makes it an excellent choice for borders, privacy screens, and specimen plantings.

This hardy selection performs well in average soil and offers reliable deer resistance.
