The world’s premier genus of ornamental grasses includes lots of stunning varieties. We offer one of our favorites that has a unique advantage: it's infertile. Miscanthus Scout™ can’t self-sow and pop up where it's not welcome.

Standing an impressive, but manageable, 5 – 6’ tall, this beauty features slender green blades accented with clean white midribs. The lush inflorescence is a gorgeous reddish-brown. 

Culture Notes

Miscanthus can be slow to emerge in spring in colder areas. Be patient: It grows vigorously once it gets going.

Exposure: Full sun.

Hardiness: Zones 5 – 10.

Landscape: Performs best in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Fairly drought-tolerant once established. 

Scout™ is an ECG exclusive, and one of our favorites from the UGA Infertile Grass Collection. It comes in your choice of beefy 38-cell or economical 72-cell liners from Emerald Coast Growers – your easy choice!
