Miscanthus sinensis, commonly known as maiden silver grass or Eulalia grass, is a clumping ornamental grass that is native to Asia. It is a popular choice in gardens and landscapes because of its showy plumage and low maintenance requirements.
Maiden silver grass can grow up to 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide, with fine-textured leaves that are silver-green in color. In the fall, the foliage turns shades of orange, red and gold, adding a pop of color to the landscape. The plant produces tall, feathery flower spikes that emerge in late summer and persist through winter, creating a striking landscape feature.
Maiden silver grass prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is drought tolerant once established and can thrive in a range of soil types, including clay, sand and loam. Maintenance requirements are minimal, with only occasional watering and pruning needed to keep the plant looking its best.
Overall, Miscanthus sinensis is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a low maintenance, hardy and attractive ornamental grass for their garden or landscape.
