Why Miscanthus Gracillimus?
A popular variety of ornamental grass also known as Chinese Silver Grass or Maiden Hair Grass, the Miscanthus Gracillimus makes a beautiful accent for your yard and landscaping.
Alongside long, graceful blades of grass, the Miscanthus Gracillimus emerges with vibrant, purple-toned flower plumes in summer, adding color and dimension. The feathery plumes change to a light silver-white as they mature, for eye-catching interest through fall and winter.
This Maiden Grass grows in a dense, fountain-like cluster. They can reach anywhere from 5-6 feet tall, and extend 3-4 feet wide. Note that in the US, it is not recommended to grow more than one in close proximity, and it is considered invasive in some states.
Most often utilized as an accent plant, you can add the Miscanthus Gracillimus into a shrubbery screen, at the ends of hedges, and along borders, or as a garden accent. This strong grass is pest and disease free, as well as resistant to deer and rabbits.
Variety is the spice of life, and the Miscanthus Gracillimus' unique growth adds variety to your landscape from season to season. Its different moods and shapes will hold interest all year.

So, to my surprise the maiden grass is doing quite well. Going into their second year they seam to be well suited in their surroundings. Not as fast growing as I thought but still good. I did trim the dead tails down to about three/four inches just not more than a week ago and now seeing green grass forming through the bunch. This is First week in May 2025. Thought it was too late but not so. My pal has some adult tall grass I will place in an area that needs to become overgrown. Neighbors! You know the drill. So, easy to grow and very little attention and you got yourself a nice friendly specimen…

Maiden Grass
Highly recommend ordering from this company. This is my second time ordering. I planted 4 loblolly trees, hollys and two evergreen trees in December which surprisingly made it through two months of extreme cold. I recently purchased 6 Maiden grasses. They arrived packaged nicely and look healthy. I am very happy with plants I have received from this company.
