In the reference 20 varieties crop Chinese silver grass, where this is mentioned in the description.
The inflorescence of Miscanthus sinensis is a terminal panicle with fan-like spreading raceme branches, the length of which varies from 12 to 40 cm depending on the cultivar. The coloration of the inflorescences is variable: ranging from silvery-white, golden, and pinkish at the beginning of flowering to purple, violet, or brown tones, followed by a transition to a silvery-gray hue upon maturation.
When evaluating the crop, the timing of panicle emergence, which typically occurs between August and October, is taken into account, as well as their position relative to the foliage. The plant's ability to form a fully developed inflorescence before the onset of autumn frosts serves as a key indicator that the cultivar is able to complete its growth cycle in a specific region.
