One of the most popular variety of Chinese Silver Grasses, Miscanthus sinensis ‘Gracillimus’ is a spectacular ornamental grass grown for its abundant, purple-flushed, flower plumes on display in late summer. They delicately change to silver as they mature and provide excellent winter interest.

Performs best in full sun in moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soils. Drought and Salt tolerant once established. Generally pest and disease free and wildlife resistant, but attracts birds.
