'Yaku Jima Dwarf' is a compact deciduous clump forming clump. In mid-summer small pale pink feathery flower heads emerge from the centre of the clump. These gradually turn to silver with age and will persist on plants well into the winter months. Great as specimen or in groupings.

How to take care of Miscanthus Sinensis Yaku Jima Dwarf
Miscanthus can remain in the ground for at least fifteen to twenty years. First year growth is insufficient. New shoots emerge around March each year, growing rapidly in June-July, producing bamboo-like canes. It dies back naturally in the autumn/winter; the leaves fall off, providing nutrients for the soil. This growth pattern is repeated every year. However, their spread is slow and there is little risk of uncontrolled invasion of hedges or fields. Suitable for any well drained soil, plant in a sunny or partially shaded position. Enrich the planting site with organic matter prior to planting. Plant in a hole deep enough so that the root ball will be a little deeper than the plant was growing in its container. Mulch grasses with organic material in the autumn to protect roots and shoots from freezing.
Miscanthus spreads naturally by means of underground storage known as rhizomes. Divide grasses every few years in the spring just as they are beginning to break dormancy. Dig the plant up and cut the clump into divisions with a sharp knife or spade, replant the divisions.
