Kleine Fontane Maiden Ornamental Grasses (Miscanthus Sinensis Kleine Fontane)

Kleine Fontane Maiden Ornamental Grasses Description

Kleine Fontane Maiden Grass is a charming ornamental grass celebrated for its compact size and graceful appearance. This deciduous, clump forming grass features slender, arching green leaves that create a soft, fountain like shape. In late summer, the plant produces reddish bronze flower plumes that rise above the foliage, maturing to silvery tones and remaining attractive well into autumn and winter. With a height of approximately 1.2 to 1.5 metres (4 to 5 feet), including its flower spikes, it is an excellent choice for smaller gardens or spaces needing vertical interest.

Pruning Advice

Winter structure: Allow the foliage and plumes to remain over winter, as they provide architectural interest and protect the crown of the plant.

Cutting back: In late winter or early spring, before new growth emerges, cut back the dead foliage to just above ground level. Use sharp shears or secateurs for a clean cut.

General care: Remove any dead or damaged leaves during the growing season to maintain a neat appearance.

Further Information

Seasonal interest: The elegant foliage provides structure and texture in the garden, while the long lasting flower plumes offer colour and movement from late summer through to winter.

Wildlife friendly: The plumes attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, and the seeds may feed birds in autumn.

Low maintenance: Ideal for gardeners seeking an easy care plant with year round appeal.

Versatility: Its compact size makes it suitable for mixed borders, as a specimen plant, or even in large containers.
