Re: Miscanthus Silver Feather

This is pretty funny, really.  I was just talking today about digging mine
and dividing it, a formidable project, to be sure.

Anyway, I've grown it for about 8 years and I love it.  Mine is about 7 feet
tall when fully tassled, and fans out rather than being rigidly upright.
Very graceful and soft in appearance.  Not invasive at all, as are most of
the Miscanthus, as they tend to be clumpers.
