Miscanthus sinensis ‘Graziella’ – Graceful Autumn Grass

Description
Miscanthus sinensis ‘Graziella’ is a graceful ornamental grass prized for its slender, arching leaves and airy flower plumes. In late summer, pinkish-silver flower heads appear above the foliage, adding soft movement and texture to the garden.

During autumn, the foliage transforms to warm bronze tones, creating seasonal interest and a striking backdrop for perennials. Its upright, elegant form makes it suitable for borders, screens, and naturalistic or contemporary plantings.

Typically grows 1.2–1.5 m tall, with flower plumes extending up to 1.8 m, and spreads 0.8–1 m wide.

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