Miscanthus
sacchariflorus is a king-sized perennial on the water's edges
that grows up to 2.5m in height, not making stocks, unlike
Miscanthus sinensis. Rhizomes extend long sideways and often form
big colonies. Leaves are 50-80cm long and 1-3cm wide, and the lower
parts have fallen off by the flowering time. Inflorescences are
50-80cm long, more significant than M. sinensis, and branches emerge
more densely. Spikelets measure 5-6mm long, with dense, 2-4 times
longer, silvery-white hairs at the bases. Bloom time:
September-October. |
