What type of grass is this?
20 years ago
When I purchased and planted this grass 9 years ago, it was identified only as pampas grass. I was new at gardening then, but now I am sure this is a member of the miscanthus sinensis family, I just don't know which one since it resembles quite a few from the photos I have seen. I live on the zone 5/6 line, but most Z6 grasses do very well here. Can anyone help me identify my beautiful grass?
