In late summer, feathery panicles open a rich deep red, gradually fading to silvery tones through autumn and persisting on the plant well into winter. As the seasons turn, the foliage takes on warm golden and bronze hues, adding further seasonal colour and interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eReaching an ultimate height of around 1.5m with a spread of 1m, this vigorous yet non-invasive, clump-forming grass brings valuable height, structure, and movement to mixed borders, prairie-style planting, and naturalistic schemes. Its persistent winter plumes also provide a habitat for over-wintering insects and are much loved by birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMiscanthus 'Red Chief' thrives in full sun, in fertile, moist but well-drained soil, and is fully hardy throughout the UK. Simply cut back to the base in late winter or early spring before fresh new growth begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach Miscanthus sinensis 'Red Chief' has been carefully hand-selected to ensure it reaches you in excellent condition, ready to bring its dramatic colour and movement to your garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PengellyGardenCentre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58456686330230,"sku":"-","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/files\/images-2026-08-14T130345.046.jpg?v=1786709073","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/miscanthus-sinensis-red-chief-5ltr","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
