Description

If your garden could use a little drama (the good kind), let us introduce you to Gold Breeze Miscanthus—a striking ornamental grass that knows how to stand tall and shine bright. With upright green blades boldly striped in golden yellow, this beauty brings instant texture, movement, and color to your landscape, like sunshine bottled up in foliage form.

This clump-forming grass doesn’t sprawl or take over; it grows with tidy elegance, reaching about 5-6 feet tall—perfect for adding height and contrast to borders, backdrops, or containers. As summer shifts into fall, fluffy silvery-pink plumes emerge above the foliage, waving gently in the breeze like nature’s own fireworks.

Gold Breeze thrives in full sun, prefers well-drained soil, and is hardy in USDA Zones 5-9. Once established, it’s drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and keeps its good looks well into winter—because, let’s face it, your garden deserves a little flair year-round.

Tuck it into a mixed border, plant it in mass for a glowing privacy screen, or let it steal the show in a decorative pot. However you grow it, Gold Breeze Miscanthus brings the sparkle—no glitter required.

Planting Instructions

Dig a Hole

First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly. Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.

Amend Your Soil

Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve
drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.

Place Your Plant

Examine the roots. If they appear tightly bound, gently coax them apart; this ensures they can spread into the new soil. Place your plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is even with the surrounding soil—Backfill
around it with the amended soil mixture. The roots need access to oxygen for your plant to thrive, so do not cover the rootball; place soil around it.

Mulch Your Plants

Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture. Be careful not to cover the rootball - your new plants roots need access to oxygen.

Water Your Plant

Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated. Develop a regular watering schedule based
on your plant's needs and local weather patterns. Remember, over watering is just as, if not more, harmful than under watering.

Spacing Recommendations

Spacing Your Gold Breeze Miscanthus Grass

For a seamless planting, space your Gold Breeze Miscanthus Grass, 3-4' apart from plant center to plant center. For space between plantings, plant them
6+ feet apart.
