Maiden Grass 'Yakushima Dwarf', Eulalia 'Yakushima Dwarf', Chinese Silver Grass 'Yakushima Dwarf'
Quite compact, Dwarf Chinese Silver Grass ‘Yakushima Dwarf’ (Miscanthus sinensis) is a remarkable ornamental grass for many reasons. First, its modest size makes it extremely useful in the landscape. Second, its fine-textured foliage, which consists of arching, silvery-green leaves borne on short, upright stems, creates an exquisite fountain shape that stands out beautifully and sways gracefully in the slightest breeze, delicately softening any landscape.
