Chinese Silver Grass (Miscanthus Sinensis New Hybrids) - After sowing Miscanthus ornamental grass seeds, it will require a full year before flowering, but the wait is worth it! Miscanthus New Hybrids is so graceful with reed-like stems and tall feathery plumes, and it is ideal for creating screen, hedges or pond side plantings. Other common names for Miscanthus are Eulalia Grass and Maiden Grass, and it is considered to be one of the easiest ornamental grasses to grow.
- TALL, GRACEFUL GROWTH & SEASONAL INTEREST: Our ornamental tall grass plants grow up to 98 inches tall and spread 36-48 inches wide, forming elegant, arching stems with silvery-red, scarlet, and purple plumes from late summer to fall. The foliage turns golden tan in winter, adding year-round beauty to gardens, privacy plants, and borders—a perfect addition to outdoor living spaces.
- HARDY PERENNIAL FOR USDA ZONES: Grows in USDA Zones 4-9, our drought-tolerant perennial plants withstand heat, cold, and poor soil conditions, making them suitable for low-maintenance landscaping and xeriscape gardens. Their deep roots reduce soil erosion, making them an excellent choice for slopes and embankments and a great addition to outdoor grass collections.
- FULL SUN & LOW MAINTENANCE: Our Miscanthus grass thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it great for dry, sandy, or rocky areas. It requires minimal upkeep, needing only an annual trim in early spring to promote fresh growth. A great addition to garden seed collections and an excellent choice for those looking for drought-resistant grass seed.
- EASY TO GROW FROM SEED: Sow 4-5 seeds per plant, cover lightly with sand or soil, and keep moist until germination in 14-21 days. Space plants 36-48 inches apart for healthy, dense growth. Transplant outdoors after the last frost for strong establishment. A great addition to seeds for planting collections and a resilient choice for those looking for ornamental grass seed.
- PRIVACY SCREEN & WIND BARRIER: With tall, dense foliage, our Chinese Silver Grass forms a privacy hedge, reducing wind and noise in gardens, patios, and open spaces. Its sturdy stems and feathery plumes sway elegantly, enhancing outdoor settings.
