Miscanthus sinensis Flamingo
 

Has anyone grown this? I've read that it has lovely pink/purple flower
heads but have also read that it doesn't flower well, if at all, in UK.
Anyone know?

No, I don't know, but if it's anything like the 'pink' versions of
pampas grass, it'll be somewhere between disappointing and absolutely
awful! Having said that, the RHS give it an AGM, so maybe it's not too
bad http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=5849

Nothing like pink pampas in terms of that overblown look!! ;-) I've
seen a photo of it on Jelitto's page and then looked it up further on
Google. It's rather pretty but if it's tender, there's no point
planting lots of it here.
