Giant Maiden Grass
Giant Maiden Grass (Miscanthus x giganteus) is a prominent perennial grass renowned for its impressive size and ornamental appeal. This hybrid grass is a cross between Miscanthus sacchariflorus and Miscanthus sinensis. As the name suggests, it's notably large, often reaching heights of 8 to 12 feet or more, with feathery plumes that can extend even higher. The foliage is green, narrow, and arching, providing an attractive fountain-like effect in the landscape. In late summer to early fall, tall flower spikes emerge, displaying silver to reddish plumes that persist into winter. Giant Maiden Grass is appreciated for its adaptability to a range of soil types and its tolerance to drought and varying weather conditions. It is a favored choice for creating screens, hedges, or as a focal point in larger gardens and landscapes. Due to its substantial size, it's essential to provide adequate space for this grass to grow and thrive while adding a striking vertical element to the garden.
