Coined 'Silver Tower', this kingly cultivar is the best tall growing Miscanthus we know. Asserting a BIG and bold grandeur in the landscape, the lush column of long broad foliar ribbons, which arch out and down in a lax manner, gracefully rises heavenbound. Large, loosely arranged silver plumes shimmer when they catch the sun nearly 10 spectacular feet above us. Whether it's mixed with tropicals, framing a threshold or premiered as a towering specimen, the magnificent 'Silberturm' exhibits a fine form all season and will surely turn quite a few heads.
