Tall Tails Maiden Ornamental Grasses Description

Tall Tails Maiden Grass is a stunning ornamental grass known for its tall, feathery flower plumes that create a graceful, airy effect in the garden. These flower heads, which emerge in late summer, start off in soft pink tones and gradually fade to a silvery hue as autumn progresses. With its upright, arching growth habit, Tall Tails Maiden Grass provides height, texture, and movement to garden beds, borders, or larger planting schemes, making it an excellent choice for adding vertical structure to your outdoor space.

Reaching a height of approximately 1.2 to 1.5 metres (4 to 5 feet), Tall Tails Maiden Grass is taller than many other ornamental grasses, making it perfect for creating a dramatic focal point or backdrop in the garden. Its fine, green foliage complements the striking flower plumes, transitioning to warm golden hues in autumn and winter. Even after the growing season, the dried flower heads persist, offering winter interest and texture, which can enhance the landscape during the colder months.

Pruning Advice

Late Winter or Early Spring Pruning: To maintain a tidy appearance and encourage new growth, cut back the plant in late winter or early spring, before new shoots begin to emerge. Trim the grass to about 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) above the ground.

Remove Dead Foliage: During pruning, remove any dead or damaged foliage to keep the plant looking healthy and vibrant.

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

Further Information

Vertical Height: The tall, feathery plumes provide excellent height and structure to the garden, making it ideal for larger spaces, borders, or as a backdrop to lower growing plants.

Seasonal Appeal: The soft pink and silvery tones of the flower plumes provide beauty from late summer through autumn, and the dried flowers offer interest through the winter months.

Low Maintenance: Once established, Tall Tails Maiden Grass requires little maintenance, making it a great option for gardeners looking for a visually striking yet easy to care for plant.

Wildlife Friendly: The flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, and the dried plumes can provide food for birds in winter.

Versatility: Its graceful form and striking flowers make it a versatile choice for a variety of garden styles, from modern to cottage gardens.
