Lush, Eye-Catching Texture

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.

Miscanthus Gracillimus (Maiden Grass)

Thank you. The Maiden grass was packaged well and arrived in very good condition. It has been planted already and looking forward to seeing it grow in my garden as soon as the weather warms up.

I ordered 2 miscanthus gracious

I ordered 2 miscanthus gracious ( maiden grass) and they arrived so beautiful, I had to order more. I will be putting them in the ground in a few days, I suspect they will do very well. Last year I ordered a couple of cherry trees and they are doing beautifully. I love doing business with Fast Growing Trees.

Too soon to know!

All of the grasses, trees and bushes are in the ground but nothing really has shown much growth yet to make a helpful review. All have only been planted only two weeks ago. I will update the review as time passes and oriental grasses, trees, and shrubs either begin to grow, stay dormant, or die. Only time will tell at this point.

So far so good!

When plants arrived late last summer, i was very pleased with their condition. Once in the ground, they seemed to do fine, and i'm hoping they've survived our ice and snow this winter and that new growth is vigorous.
