Miscanthus sinensis
variegatus, goes by a number of common names: Japanese Silver
Grass, Chinese Silver Grass, Variegated Eulalea Grass, and Variegated
Maiden Grass. Compared to Miscanthus Cosmopolitan this grass is an
easier plant to fit in the garden. The plants are typically
4-6 feet tall and wide. Where Miscanthus
Cosmopolitan has white stripes up the edges of the leaves,
Miscanthus sinensis variegatus has multiple white stripes up the center of
the leaf. Division is an easier method of propagation.
Plants prefer regular water but will get by on a moderate diet.
