Miscanthus 'Gracillimus Maiden' is a large ornamental maiden grass. The classic maiden grass — narrow, arching foliage with a fine white midrib creates a graceful, flowing mound. Coppery-silver plumes appear in fall. A timeless, reliable landscape grass of great elegance. Thrives in full sun to light shade in average, well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established. Cut back hard in late winter before new growth emerges. An outstanding specimen or backdrop plant for large borders — graceful form, showy plumes, and excellent winter presence make it indispensable.
