Miscanthus Sinensis (Maiden Grass)
Miscanthus Sinensis, commonly known as Maiden Grass, is a graceful ornamental grass that adds texture and movement to any garden. Featuring tall, arching blades of green foliage that turn golden-bronze in autumn, this clump-forming perennial creates year-round interest. In late summer, it produces feathery, silver-pink flower plumes that add a touch of elegance and are perfect for dried floral arrangements.
Ideal for borders, screens, or as a feature plant, Maiden Grass thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Its hardy, low-maintenance nature makes it an excellent choice for both contemporary and traditional landscapes. A must-have for adding height and softness to your garden design.
