Maiden Grass 'Malepartus', Eulalia 'Malepartus', Chinese Silver Grass 'Malepartus', Japanese Silver Grass 'Malepartus'
Vigorous and free-flowering, Chinese Silver Grass ‘Malepartus’ (Miscanthus sinensis) is a spectacular ornamental grass grown for its abundant and huge, pink-tinged flower plumes on display in late summer. Flowering earlier than most Miscanthus, they delicately change to silver as they mature and provide excellent winter interest. They rise gracefully above an elegant foliage of narrow, arching, green leaves with white midribs, which turn beautiful shades of red, orange, and bronze in fall. A fabulous focal point in the garden!
