Garden Plant: Cosmopolitan Maiden Grass
Cosmopolitan Maiden Grass
Product Description: Cosmopolitan Maiden Grass
A Luminous Addition to Your Garden!
Have you hopped on board with the current trend of mixing gorgeous grasses into your perennial or evergreen beds and foundation plantings? This stellar look was brought to the fashion forefront by such garden designer luminaries as Piet Oudolf, Wolfgang Oehme and James van Sweden. Adding grasses gives motion and form to the landscape like no other plant can.
So, if you want to join the movement, or if you are already a fan and want to take it to the next level, we highly recommend Cosmopolitan Maiden Grass (Miscanthus sinensis \’Cosmopolitan’). This award-winning plant makes a tall and spectacular profile, especially when planted with large-leaved perennials. The contrast is striking!
Cosmopolitan Maiden Grass has a fountain-like habit that really stands out. The arching green leave are strappy and have creamy margins flanking soft-greenish midribs. In the fall, the entire plant turns an autumnal golden-yellow and then a lovely straw-beige during the winter. They change to a silvery-white as they age and provide excellent winter interest in the garden.
Use Cosmopolitan Maiden Grass to soften any landscape. They prefer full sun but will do fine in dappled shade. They get tall enough to use them as screens or hedges and look great singly as an accent plant or grouped together for a big statement bed.
Cosmopolitan Maiden Grass received the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticulture Society.
Don’t hesitate to add this luminous grass to your garden this year.
