Question
Hey, I’m very sorry about the picture quality. I’ve only seen this plant a few times before and I just got a glimpse of one as I was driving by. It it a taller plant, similar in form to a bulrush but kind of looks like wheat. Extremely fluffy looking and white. This is in the more northern part of Québec, Canada. Any idea of what this may be? Thank you so much.
Answer
Dear Sao, it looks like a species of Miscanthus (silvergrass), a non-native species plants for ornament. I can't tell you which one with confidence, but based on the white hairs within the inflorescence, it appears to be Miscanthus sacchariflorus (Amur silvergrass).
