Hello, I bought 4 of these in 2020 in 9cm pots, I planted them in April. By the end of September they were 7 feet tall and 2 feet wide at the base. This year they're a about 12 feet tall and are just over 3 feet at the base. They're amazing plants and grow unbelievably fast, black birds and Robins love rummaging around inside them for insects. Also for those of use that have wood stoves the stems make great kindling 😊
@@MarksHouseandGardenUK To be honest with you I was shocked by how fast and big they grow. I read that they are easy to divide but I found the opposite, it's just a huge knot of thick knobbly roots it was a nightmare to divide them. They are beautiful plants but the need lots of space.
Hi Mandy. They're from a company call knolls. They have a nice selection of different miscanthus. www.knollgardens.co.uk/product-category/grasses/miscanthus/
We all make these mistakes 😂 I planted variegated ground elder in a poor area and have regretted it forever! Could you not have contacted the supplier and arranged a change of grasses?

Thanks for this comment. I am a bit worried about the growth rate 🫣😶
