No, Miscanthus sinensis 'Silver Feather' is deer resistant. It is an excellent choice for landscapes where deer pressure is a common concern.

While it prefers medium moisture, it becomes quite drought-tolerant once it is fully established in your garden. During the first growing season, however, you should provide regular water to help the root system develop.

The foliage turns a straw color and the silver plumes remain intact through much of the winter. This provides structural beauty and texture to the garden even after the growing season has ended.
