Karly Rose Maiden Ornamental Grasses (Miscanthus Orientalis Karly Rose)

Karly Rose Maiden Ornamental Grasses Description

Karly Rose Maiden Grass is an elegant and compact ornamental grass that brings both texture and vibrant colour to any garden. Known for its striking pinkish red feathery flower plumes, which emerge in late summer and fade to soft silvery tones by autumn, Karly Rose Maiden Grass adds a delicate, graceful effect to borders, smaller garden spaces, and containers. Its slender, arching foliage provides movement and softness, creating a visually dynamic addition to your garden design.

This compact variety reaches a height of around 60 to 90 cm (2 to 3 feet), making it perfect for smaller gardens or for use in mixed borders where space is limited. Its upright growth habit and stunning flowers make it ideal for adding texture and colour, while its compact nature ensures it will not overwhelm smaller spaces. As the plant matures, the flower heads persist through winter, providing winter interest with their dried plumes, adding beauty even when the growing season is over.

Pruning Advice

Late Winter or Early Spring Pruning: In late winter or early spring, cut the plant back to about 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) above ground level, before new growth begins. This will tidy up the plant and allow fresh shoots to emerge for the new season.

Remove Dead Foliage: Any dead or damaged foliage should be removed during the pruning process to maintain its health and appearance.

Clean Up: After pruning, clear away any debris or cuttings from around the base of the plant to prevent disease and ensure healthy new growth.
