Maiden grass is a gracefully arching, fine-textured grass that forms majestic, dense, upright clumps in the landscape. The slender green blades originate in a clump, spreading out and up like a fountain. The 5- to 6-foot-tall clumps bear pink flowers in late summer and fall that persist through the winter and which can be used for drying or as a dye plant. The foliage is flexible and blows easily in the wind. This shrub-like grass turns to a rich gold in the fall; the fall color lasts through the winter.
Maiden Grass is very easy to grow and is not fussy about soil type, provided the soil is well drained. Plant it in a location that provides full sun. A little shade is tolerated.
Maiden Grass can be used singularly as a specimen or planted in groups anywhere in the sunny landscape.
