Emerald Coast Growers debuts miscanthus ‘Gold Breeze,’ an introduction from Joy Creek Nursery. It has an upright, clump-forming habit, growing 5-7 feet tall. Its broad, arching, apple-green blades have dense horizontal gold stripes from the base of the plant to its tip. Shades of gold and a silvery tassel appear with autumn and grace foliage throughout winter. When the showy red inflorescences appear in late August, they stand atop 6½ foot stems. It is excellent as a specimen plant or backdrop plant. Miscanthus ‘Gold Breeze’ prefers full sun and is hardy to USDA Hardiness Zones 5-9. Available in 38-cell trays.
