Dwarf Maiden Grass 'Yaku Jima' 3 gallon

Miscanthus sinensis

A dwarf form of one of the most popular and best performing maiden or silver grasses in the landscape, M. 'Gracillimus'. Its shorter, upright, arching, dense habit consists of soft textured, very narrow, medium green blades with a distinct silver mid-vein. Flowers are born well above the foliage in wispy, tan to reddish panicles early autumn that turn silver for the winter. Ornamental grasses provide attractive and durable garden accents, three seasons of interest, and make wonderful cut foliage and flowers for arranging. Combine with Perovskia, Rudbeckia and Joe-Pye weed. Plant in well-drained, average to poor soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1-inch of water, once a week the first year. Use slow release fertilizer in spring or at planting. Mulch 1-2 inches to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. In general, cut ornamental grasses down as low as possible in late winter. Divide in spring when necessary.
