Miscanthus sinensis 'Gold Bar' WW39 Miscan N2-
Miscanthus sinensis 'Gold Bar' WW39 Miscan N2- (Chinese Silver Grass) Compact Maiden Grass Miscan, Mature plant size: 5x3ft, horizontally banded yellow and green foliage. grows much more slowly than most maiden grasses, requiring an additional two to three years to reach maturity., USDA Hardiness Zone 5, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed N2 for 358 DAYS (Lowes). Planted in 2021.
Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Gold Bar’ is a clump-forming eulalia grass that is noted for its horizontally banded yellow and green foliage, dense-upright-rigid growth habit, compact shape and late flowering. It was discovered as a nursery seedling produced by open pollination of Miscanthus sinensis ‘Strictus’. It typically grows in a clump to 4-5’ tall. Leaf blades feature distinctive horizontal yellow bands that retain good coloration throughout the growing season. Flowers appear in corymbose panicles above the foliage in autumn (early frost in northern climates may actually prevent bloom). Tiny flowers emerge coppery-red (burgundy) over white maturing to beige. Panicles provide some winter interest. Foliage fades to tan after frost. Some nurseries are promoting ‘Gold Bar’ as an improved version of ‘Strictus’ (‘Gold Bar’ plants are shorter and feature more densely banded foliage). U.S. Plant Patent PP15,193 was issued September 28, 2004.
