Giant Miscanthus????? Came across this the other day and was wondering if anybody has used it or any information on it?
Booner21, Daylilies are similar in growth patterns and we divide them often. It is not easy. We use two large, long and strong screwdrivers. Stick them into the matt of roots on an angle forming am X with the two screwdrivers. Then just pull the screw drivers together and push them apart. First cuts are harder, then as the pieces become smaller they are easier to work. It helps to wet the clump and spray at it with a high pressure hose some also before inserting screwdrivers. When I get the clumps small enough to pick up they are placed in water in a kidde swimming pool to help them get wet throughout. I have not done this with MG but this would be the first thing I would try. Good luck, am looking forward to hearing what you find to work.
Thanks I think I have my work cut out for me
It doesn’t like shade. Gets kinda thin and weepy in the shade. I doubt it would work in the woods.Question for you miscanthus growers. Can it be grown in the woods or does it need full sunlight?
If I’m reading it right it looks very expensive? I need to do about 100 yards of road frontage. I was going to transplant cedars since I have those coming out of my ears.
To prep an area would you spray, disk it nice and fine, pack it, pop a bunch of holes in the alternating pattern I’ve seen, and then put the rhizomes in?It’s not cheap but once you have some you can grow it by taking live cuttings or dividing up the roots into rhizomes
