Miscanthus sinensis ‘Malepartus’ | Chinese Silver Grass

Miscanthus are dramatic, versatile ornamental grasses that should only be planted and managed with the greatest of care.

'Malepartus' is a stunning variety with a super erect habit and early bloom time. Blooms open pink in mid summer, deepen to coppery in fall, then fade to fluffy silver before winter.
