Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

A dwarf Maiden grass ideal for small gardens or small spaces. Provides fine texture and graceful form with silver-gray foliage that turns golden in the fall. Billowy stalks stand above the foliage with a nice separation, opening pink and fading to white. Plumes hold on well into the fall. Will tolerate afternoon sun. Generally, Miscanthus are taller than they are wide, this one being up to 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide.
