Plant Profile: Saccharum arundinaceum

Hardy Sugarcane is a robust, clump-forming ornamental grass that showcases vibrant purple blooms in the autumn. As the most resilient variety of sugarcane, it remains evergreen in warmer regions but will die back during winter in cooler areas, re-emerging in the spring. Its late blooming period alleviates concerns about it spreading uncontrollably in your garden. Given its size, it's important to select a suitable location that receives ample sunlight. This plant can be easily propagated through division.
