Miscanthus sinensis 'Kleine Silberspinne'
Height x Spread: 120cm x 50cm
This relatively compact grass produces upright, narrow leaves with silver mid-rib and red tinged plumes in late summer. Grow this grass where sunlight will catch it, illuminating its elegant, light form and making it glow.
Its scale is ideal for a small space, whether urban garden, courtyard or informal cottage garden setting. Low maintenance, cut it down to the ground in late winter/early spring before new foliage shoots appear. It also makes a great foliage ingredient for a container. To get the best results, plant it in full sun in a fairly fertile, well drained soil that retains some dampness.
