Cabaret Maiden Grass - 3c

(Miscanthus sinensis 'Cabaret')

Cabaret Maiden Grass is primarily grown for its highly ornamental fruit. The silver seed heads are carried on showy plumes displayed in abundance from early fall to late winter. Its attractive grassy leaves are dark green in color with showy creamy white variegation. The foliage often turns yellow in fall. It features bold plumes of coral-pink flowers rising above the foliage in late summer. The tan stems can be quite attractive.

Cabaret Maiden Grass is an herbaceous perennial grass with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other garden plants with finer foliage.

This plant will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It has no significant negative characteristics.
