Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus', what we call Maiden Grass and others might call Eulalia Grass, is a gracefully arching, fine-textured ornamental grass that will form majestic, finely textured, vertical accents in your landscape. The slender green blades originate in a clump, spreading out and up like a fountain. The foliage is flexible and blows easily in the wind, turning a rich gold in the fall and persisting through winter. In mid- to late-summer, pinkish-red seed "wands" rise above the 5-6 foot tall clumps on thin but sturdy stems. In early fall these open to fluffy, curled, almost-white color plumes that persist through winter. The plumes are great for cutting and use in dried flower arrangements. One of our favorites!
