Miscanthus sinensis 'Graziella'

Common Name(s)
Chinese silver grass, Eulalia

Is this plant a cultivar?  Yes

Name of Variety, or Name of Cultivar:
'Graziella'

Life History:  Perennial

Growth Form:  grass

Miscanthus sinensis is native to East Asia.

'Graziella' is noted for its narrow green leaves which form a substantial, rounded, arching clump of foliage typically growing 4-6' tall (to 7' when in flower). Foliage turns orange-red in fall, but fades to straw-beige by winter. Tiny white flowers appear in tassel-like inflorescences above the foliage in late summer, gradually turning into silvery white plumes as the seeds mature. Blooms earlier than most Miscanthus cultivars. Flower plumes persist well into winter providing good winter interest. Similar in appearance to M. s. 'Gracillimus' except blades are more erect and overall clump height is shorter. (Missouri Botanical Garden)
