Gracillimus Maiden Grass

Add graceful movement and year-round interest to your landscape with Gracillimus Maiden Grass (Miscanthus sinensis ‘Gracillimus’). This elegant ornamental grass is known for its fine, arching green foliage with a narrow, silver midrib that gives it a soft, flowing appearance. In late summer to early fall, feathery, copper-colored plumes rise above the foliage, maturing to a soft silver hue that persists into winter. Perfect for borders, mass plantings, or as a striking focal point, ‘Gracillimus’ brings texture, height, and dynamic beauty to any garden.

Key Features:

• Elegant Foliage: Slender, arching green blades with a subtle silver midrib create a graceful, flowing effect.
• Striking Plumes: Coppery-red flower plumes emerge in late summer, fading to silvery-tan for winter interest.
• Tall & Upright Growth: Reaches 5-7 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide, making it an excellent specimen or background plant.
• Four-Season Appeal: Provides texture and movement in summer, stunning plumes in fall, and structural interest in winter.
• Drought & Heat Tolerant: Thrives in dry, well-drained soils, making it perfect for low-water landscapes.
• Deer & Rabbit Resistant: Keeps your garden looking pristine without attracting browsing wildlife.
• Low Maintenance: Hardy, easy to grow, and requires minimal care once established.

Care Tips:

• Plant in well-drained soil with full sun for optimal growth and plumes.
• Water regularly until established, then only as needed in dry conditions.
• Cut back old foliage to the ground in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh growth.
• Space plants 3-4 feet apart to allow for their full, arching form.

Whether used as a striking focal point, a natural privacy screen, or a textural accent in mixed plantings, Gracillimus Maiden Grass delivers timeless beauty and effortless elegance throughout the seasons. Its graceful form and reliable performance make it a must-have for any landscape!
