Yaku Jima Maiden Grass

Introduce graceful texture and year-round interest to your garden with Yaku Jima Maiden Grass, a compact ornamental grass celebrated for its finely arching foliage and soft, silvery-pink plumes. This refined cultivar of Miscanthus sinensis offers a smaller, more manageable form ideal for borders, foundation plantings, or container gardens. In late summer, feathery flower heads emerge above the fountain-like clump, catching the light and gently swaying with every breeze. As autumn arrives, the foliage takes on warm golden tones, extending the plant’s beauty well into winter when its dried plumes continue to add structure and movement.

Care tips:

Light: Full sun for best form and flowering; tolerates light shade
Water: Moderate; water regularly during establishment, then only during prolonged dry periods
Soil: Average to moist, well-draining soil
Maintenance: Low maintenance; cut back to a few inches above ground in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges
