Miscanthus sinensis 'Gold Bar' | Gold Bar Eulalia Grass
DESCRIPTION
Miscanthus sinensis 'Gold Bar' is a compact, ornamental grass with an unusual variegated pattern, featuring bold, horizontal golden bands across its deep green blades. This distinctive banding adds a lively texture and color contrast, making it a standout choice for adding interest to garden beds and borders. As the growing season progresses, the vivid variegation remains crisp, bringing a touch of brightness to the landscape throughout summer.
In late summer to early fall, 'Gold Bar' produces delicate, airy plumes that rise above the foliage, offering an elegant silvery blush that gradually matures to a soft tan. Bred in Japan, 'Gold Bar' was selected for its unique color pattern and compact growth, making it well-suited for smaller spaces where larger ornamental grasses may be overwhelming. Its versatility and refined appearance make it a popular option for both formal and informal garden settings.
