Frost will kill the leaves but in mild winters the pseudostems remain intact and new growth starts from the top.

In milder years (above 19 degrees) when they don't die back, it gets much taller. It really likes warm weather and, although we had a pretty nice summer, it's still cooler here than in Portland (seldom above 80) or St. Louis so you'll probably get much faster growth. It produces more pups as it gets older but this year, rats decided to burrow beneath and use the roots as winter food so many of the smaller pups perished. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-82518077524102738322014-11-04T19:53:17.826-08:002014-11-04T19:53:17.826-08:00I had a Miscanthus 'Giganteus' next to th...I had a Miscanthus 'Giganteus' next to this one for about 10 years and it was upright until it aged and the middle died. I removed that and it took a whole day. I saved some of the bits and put them in an area where they can stay forever. This one is a variegated version and it is upright all year but as the foliage around it fills in and it gets less sun and the heavy rain and winds come, it topples. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-32150892777421659732014-11-04T18:45:14.721-08:002014-11-04T18:45:14.721-08:00I couldn't agree more!I couldn't agree more!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-73048564156378216702014-11-04T17:20:22.202-08:002014-11-04T17:20:22.202-08:00I have roses that are still blooming, which is suc...I have roses that are still blooming, which is such sweetness.

I'm enamored with both flowers and leafs. They are slow going and for once I wouldn't mind if they sped it up a bit. I love the permanent allium blooms: they are particularly useful this time of year when a pop of bright color stands out that much more. And how great are the fallen maple leafs on the black mondo grass!
