MISCANTHUS

Miscanthus or Elephant Grass is a fast growing, perennial woody type grass, which originated in South East Asia. Already familiar as a flowering plant, the non - flowering forms of the plant are of interest agriculturally as they grow rapidly, have low nutrient requirements, produce high yields, suffer from no known pests or diseases, is environmentally friendly and is harvested every year, after the first year of growth.
