Maiden Grass (Miscanthus sinensis) is a graceful ornamental grass known for its tall, arching blades and feathery plumes that sway elegantly in the breeze. Its fine-textured foliage starts green and transitions to shades of copper and gold in the fall, providing year-round interest. In late summer to early fall, it produces airy, silvery-white flower plumes that rise above the foliage, adding a stunning visual element to any landscape. Maiden Grass is hardy, low-maintenance, and versatile, making it a popular choice for garden borders, mass plantings, and as a focal point in landscape designs.
Maiden Grass has tall, arching blades with feathery, silvery-white flower plumes that add elegance and movement.
Reaches a height of 5-6 feet and a spread of 3-4 feet, forming a dense, upright clump.
Thrives in full sun but can tolerate light shade.
Suitable for USDA zones 5-9, making it adaptable to various climates.
Ideal for garden borders, mass plantings, or as a striking focal point; also effective for erosion control and adding vertical interest to landscapes.
Cut back to about 6-12 inches above ground level in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system; once established, it is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry periods.
Ships from Alabama - Customers beyond the Southeast US should place orders from early fall to late spring to avoid heat damage in transit
