Anyone recognise this really tall grass that I saw at an animal park we visited yesterday? It's about 6 to 7 feet tall. Thanks

It looks like a Miscanthus. Not sure which one.

Looks like it to me too, but no idea of the variety.

Bijdezee

Thanks, that narrows it down.

Have a look at this site for a possible match: http://www.knollgardens.co.uk

Warning, beware temptation - there are lots of beauties!

There's a stunning garden near me that has loads of Miscanthus varieties, block planted with prairie type plants. I went twice last year, going back in the autumn just to see the Miscanthus at their best and pick my favourites, as I am going to copy some of the ideas, though on a smaller scale

Agree, they are lovely especially with frost on.

I like Miscanthus "Flamingo" which has a pinkish plume on it as I thought it wouls go nicely in my pink, purple & blue theme in the school garden I look after. I do like the look of "Silberfeder" however, but haven't much room in my own garden for that one.
