Maiden Grass 'Gracillimus'
'Gracillimus' Maiden Grass
(Miscanthus sinensis gracillimus) has fine textured foliage
with a white mid-rib on an upright arching plant. It makes a wonderful
vertical accent as shown here with Purple Coneflower.
Silky plumes in September are ideal for dried arrangements. The plumes
age to a tawny color providing tremendous effect. Do not cut back until
new growth begins at base in late spring. 'Gracillimus' attains a mature
height of 6-8' tall and 3-4' wide. It grows best in sun and tolerates
wet soils.
