Eulalia 'Rotfeder'

Miscanthus sinensis 'Rotfeder' develops striking red-tinted flower plumes that gradually fade to silvery tones while remaining attractive throughout winter. In autumn, the narrow foliage changes to warm shades of yellow, orange, and red. Its graceful growth habit brings movement, height, and structure to sunny perennial borders and modern garden designs, offering exceptional ornamental value for many months.

Care/Water

Miscanthus sinensis 'Rotfeder' requires regular watering during the growing season, especially during extended dry periods. The soil should remain consistently moist, humus-rich, and well-drained to support vigorous growth and its characteristic red flower plumes. Even moisture promotes healthy plants with a strong structure.

Maintenance

Cut back dead foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Avoid heavy pruning to maintain the plant’s natural form. Organic fertilization in spring strengthens the plant and encourages abundant flowering. Inspect the plant regularly for overall health.

Location

Miscanthus sinensis 'Rotfeder' prefers sunny locations with moist, well-drained soil. Avoid waterlogged conditions to prevent root damage. An open site encourages strong plants with striking red flower plumes.

Tip

Mulching around the root zone helps retain moisture and buffer temperature fluctuations. This variety works well in mixed borders and as a strong structural plant.
