Miscanthus giganteus Gilded Tower PP 14743 Bhutan ground-hugging leavesOn a trip to the UK, the late Greg Speichert and UK grass expert Roger Grounds literally stumbled onto this variegated sport of the old cultivar Miscanthus x giganteus. The result is a splendid new deer resistant cultivar that forms a giant 10' fountain of 1" wide yellow and green striped foliage. Our 6 year old clumps of Miscanthus 'Gilded Tower' are nearly 5' wide. The lower foliage may brown out by summer's end, so give it a nice floral skirt
