Miscanthus 'Gracillimus' -- shouldn't I see some life by now?
Comments (5)My two "Jack Frosts" are up...not fully, but they are getting there. The miscanthus is a warm season grass, so it will be slow to grow in the spring.

I use 15-30-15 expert gardener all purpose water soluble plant food. What I think causes the yellow leaves is not enough fertilizer, too much sun, and magnesium, and not using enough water will make them turn brown, and dry....See More- 6 years ago
