Graziella Miscanthus grows in a slightly upright, arching shape with fine-textured, narrow leaves. It is similar in appearance to Miscanthus sinensis ‘Gracillimus’, but it produces silvery white plumes in August instead of reddish flowers in fall. These plumes rise two feet above the five-feet of green foliage. In the fall, its leaves turn a lovely copper-red color and flowers turn fluffy, a wonderful combination for winter interest. Miscanthus sinensis ‘Graziella’ grows easily in full sun and dry conditions.
