(Miscanthus sinensis)
Maiden grass is another favorite warm-season grass prized for its soft texture, brushlike seed heads and graceful form. Size varies by variety, from dwarf ‘Little Kitten’, which tops out at 3 feet, to ‘Graziella’, which can reach the top of your head.
For a particularly dramatic display, plant en masse on both sides of a walkway, where the billowing form will give the feeling of walking through a meadow.
Note: In temperate climates, seeds rarely reach maturity, but in areas with long, hot summers, there can be a risk of self-seeding. Check with your county agricultural department or native plant society before planting.
Where it will grow: Hardy to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 28.9 degrees Celsius (zones 5 to 9)
Water requirement: Low to moderate
Light requirement: Full sun
