Miscanthus Gracillimus (Maiden Grass) is an elegant ornamental grass prized for its graceful, fine-textured foliage and airy appearance. This grass produces narrow, arching leaves that create a soft, flowing effect in the garden. In late summer, Miscanthus Gracillimus produces feathery, silvery flower plumes that add texture and interest to the landscape, which persist into the autumn months.
Ideal for borders or as an accent plant, Miscanthus Gracillimus brings a refined beauty to any garden. It thrives in full sun, where it can reach a moderate height, and offers seasonal interest with its striking flowers and golden autumn foliage. Its versatility and low-maintenance nature make it an excellent choice for both formal and informal garden settings.
