Silver Feather Maiden Grass
Miscanthus sinensis 'Silberfeder'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Ornamental Grass
Plant Family: Poaceae
Plant Description: Large clump-forming ornamental grass. Long and slender green leaves contrast nicely with the silvery-white plumes of flowers that appear in late-August. Provides wonderful appeal if left standing through the winter. Cut back in the early spring, before new growth appears.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Ornamental Grass - Medium
Plant Care: Ornamental Grass - Medium (showy non-turf grasses that go dormant in winter, 3-6' tall): Use hand pruners or hedger to cut and remove 2/3 of the total grass height. Trim edges. For warm season grasses (more common), this is best done in late winter to early spring. For cool season grasses apply the same maintenance practices in the late fall, once the plant is dormant.
