Miscanthus

The new crop of Miscanthus is starting to appear on the list and one good newcomer is M. ‘Hinjo’. This is one of many smaller varieties with golden bands (like the larger Zebrinus) and this one looks a distinct improvement on some of the older forms (like Punktchen) which were slow to colour up and not very striking when they had. Hinjo also has the advantage of not being patented. We also have another banded variety called ‘Etincelle’ about which I know nothing as yet, except it means ‘spark’
