About This Grass
Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus' forms a rounded mound of fine, silver veined green leaves with an arching habit. The fan-like plumes emerge with a reddish tint, then age to a soft silvery white and remain attractive all winter. This is an older variety that has remained popular due to its reliability.

Growing and Maintenance Tips
Miscanthus prefers moist but well drained soil in full sun to partial sun. It is adaptable to many soil types including clay and sandy soils. The clump expands slowly by short rhizomes but will retain a tight clumping form. The foliage should be left standing throughout the winter for visual interest and to provide protection for the crown.
