MISCANTHUS ALTERNATIVES - Hoffman Nurseries
As the industry reassesses the role of Miscanthus in designed landscapes, we know many designers and contractors still rely on its familiar forms, textures, and functions. To support thoughtful transitions, we’ve developed a Miscanthus Alternatives Chart featuring the three closest substitutes for each cultivar. These alternatives are selected based on size, habit, color, and design function—making it easy to identify reliable, landscape-ready replacements when a specific Miscanthus appears on a planting plan.
