Miscanthus sinensis 'Little Kitten' (Dwarf Maidengrass)
A lovely water-wise clumping ornamental grass, 'Little Kitten' is prized for its compact size and winter beauty! It features finely textured, arching foliage that changes from bright green to tan for the winter, sustaining wildlife and beneficial insects; upright, numerous flower stalks, first pink-flushed then silvery-cream to capture the winter light; and a dwarf form that reaches only 18-24 in. wide by 3 ft. tall when mature, permitting use in small spaces. Needs full or part sun, but tolerates various soils, as long as there is decent drainage. As with many clumping ornamental grasses, Miscanthus requires attention in late winter (Feb-March) to cut back the dead flower stocks and foliage from the previous year before the new growth emerges.
