Anyone looking to get their own miscanthus lutarioriparius, speak to Ben at Cliff Bank Nursery who should be able to sort you out. cliffbanknursery.co.uk

What a great screening grass that likely would be.

Right! I think these tall grasses even look great in winter, and of course provide great habitat space for overwintering animals.

I’ve got this beast, brought it last year from Pan Global Plants. Got maybe 6 canes last year, its already burst into growth this year of about 20/30cm and about 14 stems 😊 can’t wait till summer to see its majestic presents lol

@@greatnorthernexotic I would say about 16/17ft bro, lovely colour stems like you say. The lower leaf nodes as they loss the leaves will start to push out roots and and a new stem, very hungry and rampant 🤣 love it hahaha mine is in a 50” barrel planter at the moment

I really want this ! Thanks for the video. I need two or 3 feet over what miscanthus Giganticus can provide for privacy purposes. Looks like the suppliers are out for now. I welcome a hook up ;-)

I got mine from Ben at Cliff Bank Nursery (drop him an email and tell him I sent you 😁) - if he's out of stock, your best bet is getting on the email list for Big Plant Nursery and Pan Global Plants. I've also been told Sunk Island Nursery near Hull stocks it though not sure if they deliver.

Got one myself, im in Hull and mine is around 2 feet tall already. 2nd year for me, currently replanted in to a dustbin that iv sunk into the ground as im concerned about how invasive it is, hopefully will get huge this year. Can get it from sunk island garden centre not far from me so it is available

Yeah you should check it out, it's a great place. Specialises in tropicals mainly so as the year progresses it generally gets better so if it's a bit of a drive for you I'd wait a couple of months 👍

It will make hybrids if you dont take care, and can be kinda invasive

No real growth height wise yet but most of the cuttings have rooted and I can see new culms emerging.

I will need a new mover
