Miscanthus sinensis 'Cabaret'

Super-bold variegation is the highlight of Cabaret Miscanthus. Each 1.25-inch- wide leaf is marked with deep green borders and a white center, the opposite variegation of its kissing cousin, Cosmopolitan Miscanthus. Because of the lively coloring and eight-foot height, Miscanthus sinensis var. condensatus 'Cabaret' makes an impressive specimen that is well worth the space it needs in the landscape. In early fall, pink blooms rise one foot above foliage for an impressive fall display. Cabaret Miscanthus was introduced in the mid-70s by the US National Arboretum.
