A floriferous form with reddish-purple silvery flowers from August to 1.8m. Very good shining silver seedheads over red-orange tinted yellow autumn foliage.

'Hercules' is one of the more robust and reliable Miscanthus we've grown with good autumn colour. Not as red/purple as some descriptions and photos online make it sound but it is a good one.
