About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Maiden grass (Miscanthus sinensis) is a tall, clump-forming perennial ornamental grass with arching foliage and feathery flower plumes. It brings vertical structure and late-season texture to large borders and managed landscape plantings.
This species can self-seed and is invasive or restricted in some regions. Check local guidance before sowing, keep it out of natural areas, and remove seed heads before dispersal where escape is a concern.
