Many Miscanthus and Pennisetum species flower in mid or late summer, and the seed heads are long lasting, often remaining well into the winter. Some Stipa species flower in the spring, the inflorescence standing almost two metres above the clumps of leaves, and again the seed heads last late into the winter.
Miscanthus × giganteus (Miscanthus giganteus, giant miscanthus) [A 1] is a highly productive, rhizomatous C4 perennial grass, originating from Asia. [ A 2 ] It is a sterile (noninvasive) hybrid of M. sinensis and M. sacchariflorus, and grows to heights of more than 4 m (13 ft) in one growing season (from the third season onwards).
Miscanthus × giganteus is propagated by cutting the rhizomes (its below-ground stems) into small pieces, and then re-planting those pieces 10 cm (4 in) below ground. One hectare (2.5 acres) of miscanthus rhizomes, cut into pieces, can be used to plant 10–30 hectares of new miscanthus fields (multiplication factor 10–30).
Miscanthus sinensis can show competitive abilities against aggressive species like switchgrass, enabling it to outcompete other plants, reduce biodiversity, and potentially lead to monocultures. [41] Its advantages over other plants include its tolerance to a wide range of temperatures, soil types, and moisture levels, as well as the potential ...

Miscanthus sacchariflorus, the Amur silvergrass, [1] is a grass native to temperate Northeast Asia. Culms are erect, 90 centimetres (35 in) – 250 centimetres (98 in) in height and 5 millimetres (0.20 in) – 8 millimetres (0.31 in) in diameter.
Miscanthus nepalensis, Himalayan fairy grass, is a species of flowering plant in the grass family Poaceae, native to mountain slopes in China (Sichuan, Xizang, Yunnan), Bhutan, India, Myanmar and Nepal, and introduced in Malaysia. It is found at elevations of 1,900–2,800 m (6,200–9,200 ft).
As a tropical plant, it grows in warm, humid climates. [4] This exotic, colorful plant with evergreen leaves resembles a bird's beak. It is an outdoor plant, provided the weather is not too cold. Otherwise, it is better to keep it in a pot indoors. It needs rich soil as well as full sun or partial shade. Another requirement for this plant is ...
