Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus' WW45 Miscan G4-
Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus' WW45 Miscan G4- (Heirloom) Maiden Grass Miscan, Mature plant size: 5x4ft, narrow green leaves with a silver midrib, USDA Hardiness Zone 5, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed G4 for 16 MONTHS (Menards). Planted in 2021.
Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Gracillimus', known as maiden grass, is noted for its narrow green leaves with a silver midrib which form a substantial, rounded, arching clump of foliage typically growing 4-6' tall (to 8' when in flower). Foliage turns yellowish after frost, but quickly fades to straw-beige by winter. Tiny reddish-copper flowers appear in tassel-like inflorescences above the foliage in late September, gradually turning into silvery white plumes as the seeds mature. Blooms later than most Miscanthus cultivars. Flower plumes persist well into winter providing good winter interest. 'Gracillimus' is an old and very popular cultivar.
