Miscanthus sinensis ‘Kleine Fontäne’ – Chinese Silver Grass
• Plant now to enjoy elegant reddish flower plumes from August to October, with peak flowering generally occurring during August and September. The plumes open deep red and quickly fade to a very pale, silvery colour.
Miscanthus sinensis ‘Kleine Fontäne’ is a graceful, fountain-forming ornamental grass with narrow green leaves marked by a distinctive white midrib. Its upright yet gently arching habit makes it ideal for mixed borders, prairie planting and contemporary gardens, adding height and movement without becoming too bulky.
Free-flowering and highly architectural, this cultivar produces spectacular fluffy flower heads that catch the light beautifully as they mature. The foliage turns golden-straw in autumn, while the flower plumes remain attractive well into winter, providing valuable seasonal structure.
Lovely, healthy plants, arrived in perfect condition thanks to careful packaging and prompt posting, as always.
I thoroughly recommend Peter and his plants from my many years of ordering from him.
