Gracillimus Ornamental Grass

Also Called Maiden Grass

(1 customer reviews)

Gracillimus Ornamental Grass is an elegant landscape accent! Stately plumes wave 5-7 feet in the air. Dark green summertime foliage turns burnished copper in winter--a splash of fiery color to warm up snowy scenery. Forms ornamental clumps 3-4 feet high, blooms in autumn. Adds height, texture to dried arrangements. Does well in full sun to partial shade. Bareroot.

Zones: 5-9.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Reviewed By: Suzanne Schauer (Gainesville, Va.)
Soooo beautiful and looks bluish green JUST like the picture!!! Well packaged in small cubes housed in protective tall housing. I plan to reuse the housing and pots. The plants are about 4" or more tall even though dormant-I received them perfectly healthy and a joy to place into the ground (heeled in).Thank you Gurney's Seed Co.!
