The My Fair Maiden™ Grass is a striking ornamental grass forming a dense clump of long silvery-green leaves rising 6 feet tall. In late summer and fall it blooms, with spikes of feathery pink flowers shooting over 8 feet in the air. This dramatic plant is perfect as a lawn specimen or at the back of flower beds. Plant it among boulders and gravel, or beside water. Although large it doesn’t spread at the roots, so it won’t take over. This variety has been specially bred to produce no viable seeds, so it doesn’t pose a threat to the surrounding countryside, where maiden grass sometimes spreads.
Full sun or just a little partial shade is best for the My Fair Maiden™ Grass. It grows happily in any well-drained soil, including poorer soils and it is drought resistant once established. It also resists salt-spray in coastal areas. It has no pests or diseases and deer ignore it. Cut back to a few inches in late fall or spring and that’s all the maintenance needed.
