Miscanthus sinensis 'Little Miss'
Miscanthus sinensis 'Little Miss' is a well-mannered, dwarf German Ornamental Grass prized for its compact size, making it ideal for small gardens and containers. This variety features slender green foliage that develops reddish-purple tones in summer, transitioning to fiery shades in autumn. Midsummer brings attractive red flower plumes that mature into dun-colored seed heads by the end of the season. As a warm-season grass, it thrives during hot months and goes dormant in winter. It is generally tough and adaptable, offering excellent ornamental value when many other plants begin to fade. Due to concerns about invasive potential in the genus, this cultivar is sourced to be as noninvasive as possible.
