Miscanthus Giganteus

[Charles Clear]

Does anyone have any experience with this tall grass? I really want a screen on the one side of my food plot. I looked at Egyptian wheat and sorghum, but I think I want a perennial. Anyone know of a good source to buy rhizomes? Thank you all for any help!

Mapleriverfarms.com but you need to call ASAP. This late in the spring their probably running low.

Lots of info on planting it here http://habitat-talk.com/index.php?threads/miscanthus-giaganteus-propagation-from-cuttings.480/

For long term screening you won't regret MG

Does it spread much (or does it reach a maximum diameter and stop)?

It continues to increase in diameter each year but after about the 5th year the spread slows.
My 8 year old plants are just starting to grow and thier about 5 foot in diameter.
