Description

Maiden Grass is a classic and beloved ornamental grass, prized for its graceful, fountain-like form and elegant, late-season plumes. Its narrow, arching green leaves turn a beautiful golden-tan in autumn and persist through winter, providing structure and movement. In late summer, silvery-pink flower plumes rise above the foliage, maturing to fluffy silver-white seeds that catch the light. This tough, adaptable grass is a four-season star for adding texture, privacy, and dynamic beauty to any sunny landscape.

Graceful, Fountain-Like Form: Forms a dense, upright clump of fine-textured, arching foliage that sways beautifully in the breeze, providing year-round structure.
Elegant Late-Season Plumes: Produces tall, feathery flower panicles in late summer that emerge pinkish and mature to silvery-white, persisting well into winter.
Exceptional Four-Season Interest: Offers green summer growth, stunning fall color (gold, orange, copper), attractive winter seed heads, and fresh spring foliage.
Extremely Tough and Adaptable: Thrives in full sun, tolerates a wide range of soils (including clay), and is drought, heat, and humidity tolerant once established.
Versatile Landscape Specimen: Ideal as a privacy screen, windbreak, specimen plant, or for mass planting in borders, slopes, or near water features.

Faqs

Q: Is it invasive?
A: Many older cultivars of Miscanthus sinensis can self-seed aggressively and are considered invasive in parts of North America. It is crucial to select a sterile cultivar. Look for and plant only certified sterile varieties like 'Gracillimus', 'Morning Light', or 'Adagio'.

Q: When and how should I prune it?
A: Leave the foliage and plumes standing for winter interest. Cut the entire clump back to about 6-12 inches above the ground in late winter or early spring, just before new growth emerges.
