Miscanthus sinensis ALA

A Polish cultivar distinguished by its very early flowering time, abundant blooming, and exceptional repeat flowering performance. Delicate, powdery-pink panicles rise above the compact clump of foliage like a light mist. The elegantly arranged leaves give the plant a graceful, fountain-like silhouette. The plant reaches approximately 1.3 m in height, forming dense clumps of slender leaves and producing pink flowers at the beginning of the flowering period. Blooming begins in June and continues uninterrupted, with new flowers continuously forming until October. The cultivar ‘Ala’ performs exceptionally well in garden plantings, ornamental grass borders, and mixed beds with perennials and shrubs. It is also highly suitable for container arrangements. Thanks to its drought tolerance and good winter hardiness, it is recommended for urban landscapes as well as naturalistic gardens. The plant has modest cultivation requirements and grows best in sunny locations. Hardiness zone: 5a (–29 to –27°C).
