Misty Blue® is a robust medium-tall selection, similar in stature to Miscanthus ‘Variegatus’ but more slender. And, as such is a great specimen, hedge and accent plant. Named for its early to mid-season powdery-blue cascading foliage, Misty Blue® is a dynamic plant… its color changes to jade-green with the appearance of amber-rose flower panicles in late summer. Then, during late fall, it transitions to red before winter’s cold turns it to tan. Misty Blue™ is a sturdy non flopping selection that pairs with larger perennials.
