Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus' (20)ct Flat Common Name: Grass-Ornamental, Maiden Grass
Zone 5 to 9, Full sun to part shade
Plants reach 5 to 6 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide.
Beautiful, rounded mounds of fine, silver-veined green leaves arch gracefully as they sway in the wind. In early fall, fan-like plumes emerge with a reddish tint and age to a soft silvery-white. They are complimented nicely by the golden-yellow fall color of the leaves.
Easy to grow and is a good choice for beginners, Miscanthus will grow in most any soil, from loose sand to heavy clay, and does not require good drainage. Grow this grass in full sun except in warmer regions where some afternoon shade is best. Fertilization is not necessary.
Miscanthus is versatile from a design standpoint; it can be used as a specimen, for massing or screening, in large containers, or at the pond's edge. Plant this grass where it is a wonderful winter interest can be enjoyed.
