Turfgrass Information

Dwarf Maiden Grass, Miscanthus Sinensis ‘Little Kitten’

Big Bluestem

Full Sun, Warm-season

This is one of the shortest Miscanthus, and looks a lot like a miniature form of ‘Gracillimus.’ A great choice for small areas. The blooms are numerous and tend to be held closer to the foliage than some other varieties.
