Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus'
Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus' is a popular ornamental grass prized for its graceful form and elegant appearance. With its arching foliage and feathery plumes, this cultivar adds texture, movement, and visual interest to garden landscapes. The foliage is narrow and green, forming dense clumps that can reach up to 6 feet in height. In late summer to early fall, 'Gracillimus' produces airy, silvery-pink flower spikes that rise above the foliage, creating a stunning display. This cultivar is relatively low-maintenance and tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions, thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. 'Gracillimus' is versatile and can be used as a focal point, border plant, or massed planting, adding year-round beauty to any garden setting.
