Maiden Grass
Description
Miscanthus is a group of ornamental grasses that make excellent perennials. They are clump forming plants with reed-like stems and leaves that are narrow and arch to the ground.
M. 'Morning Light' came into cultivation almost a century ago in Japan. In 1976, Sylvester March and John Creech introduced this cultivar into our country. This maiden grass does not flop, nor does it self sow, a great plus for a grass.
Maiden grass (M. sinensis 'Gracillimus') is an old time garden favorite with delicate, fine textured foliage and a graceful, rounded form. The clumps of foliage can get up to 4 (1.2 m) tall, and the flowering stalks can reach 7 ft (2.1 m).
Maiden grass forms a nice rounded clump of fine textured foliage and a graceful, rounded form. Plumes of flowers on 7 foot stalks in the Fall
