Little Kitten Maiden Grass

Introduce graceful movement and fine texture to your garden with Miscanthus sinensis “Little Kitten,” a compact, cold-hardy ornamental grass prized for its airy elegance and refined form. This dwarf maiden grass forms a neat, arching clump of slender green blades that sway gently in the breeze, bringing subtle energy to borders, beds, and containers. In late summer, soft, silvery-pink plumes emerge above the foliage, catching the light and adding a delicate, feathery touch that persists into fall. Perfect for small spaces, “Little Kitten” adds structure without overwhelming, blending seamlessly with perennials or standing alone as a graceful focal point.

Care tips:

Light: Full sun for best flowering and form; tolerates light shade but may reduce bloom production
Water: Moderate; drought-tolerant once established but prefers regular moisture
Soil: Well-drained soil; adapts to a variety of soil types, including clay and loam
Maintenance: Low; cut back to a few inches in late winter or early spring before new growth appears
