Miscanthus 'Ferner Osten' (Pot Size: 11cm)
Miscanthus ‘Ferner Osten’ is a cherished addition on our nursery, renowned for its unique foliage and reliable garden performance. This ornamental grass, awarded the prestigious RHS Garden Merit, is beloved by our head grower for its striking appearance and versatility in the garden.
‘Ferner Osten’ stands out with its beautifully arching leaves that transition from green to a deep burgundy-red as the season progresses. The foliage provides a dynamic visual interest that enhances garden designs with its rich, warm tones. In late Summer to early Autumn, it produces elegant, feathery plumes of reddish-purple flowers that gradually fade to silver, adding texture and movement to the garden.
Our head grower selected Miscanthus ‘Ferner Osten’ for its exceptional performance and minimal care requirements. It thrives in a variety of soil types, provided they are well-drained, and it can tolerate both full sun and partial shade. Its drought tolerance makes it an excellent choice for sustainable and low-maintenance gardens.
This grass looks spectacular when planted in mixed borders, where its height and texture provide a beautiful backdrop for perennials and shrubs. It is also ideal for creating naturalistic landscapes, prairie-style gardens, and as a striking focal point in contemporary designs.
‘Ferner Osten’ not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of gardens but also contributes to biodiversity by providing habitat and food for wildlife. Its unique foliage colour and reliable performance make it a wonderful choice.
