NEW! - This appealing, compact Miscanthus sports narrow foliage with green and gold bands. The upright habit and color lend pizzazz to containers and landscape plantings. It has increased resistance to rust. Bandwidth was developed at North Carolina State’s Mountain Horticultural Crops Research & Extension Center. It was bred to be infertile—a big plus for those concerned with reseeding. Unauthorized propagation is prohibited.
