About Miscanthus Kleine Silberspinne 4.5 Litre Pot

Miscanthus sinensis ‘Kleine Silberspinne’ – Compact Grace with Silver Plumes

Description
Miscanthus sinensis ‘Kleine Silberspinne’ is a compact ornamental grass prized for its fine-textured, arching foliage and delicate late-summer flower plumes. The airy, silver-white plumes rise above the foliage, creating elegant movement in borders and container plantings.

In autumn, the leaves turn golden-brown, adding seasonal interest and warm colour to the garden. Its smaller stature makes it perfect for smaller spaces, terraces, or mixed borders where a graceful, architectural effect is desired.

Size & Growth
Grows approximately 0.8–1 m tall, with plumes extending up to 1.2 m, and spreads 0.6–0.8 m wide.

Growing Conditions
Thrives in full sun in well-drained soil. Hardy and low-maintenance, tolerates a range of soils once established.
