This is an information site about Miscanthus, an ornamental grass that has invaded and been naturalized in native plant communities in parts of the United States. This site has been prepared as part of a research project in coordination with the University of Minnesota and the National Park Service. Ornamental cultivars of Miscanthus sinensis should only be planted in managed landscapes where they can be watched for self-seeding.
