This compact ornamental grass, translating as 'little silver spider', creates a striking presence with its narrow, arching leaves featuring a white midrib and its late-summer display of feathery, reddish plumes that fade to silver in autumn.
Miscanthus sinensis 'Kleine Silberspinne' forms a neat, rounded clump, reaching up to 1.2m (4ft) in height, making it perfect for adding vertical interest to borders or as a standalone feature.
Thriving in a sunny, open position and tolerating most well-drained soils, it requires minimal maintenance once established. The long-lasting plumes provide texture and interest through winter, and the foliage’s elegant form ensures year-round garden appeal.

When planting, choose a site in full sun, incorporating organic matter to improve drainage and soil structure.
Water newly planted grasses regularly in their first summer; after that, they become better adapted to dry conditions in open ground. Lift and divide clumps every five years to maintain vigour.
For container-grown Miscanthus, water regularly in summer to prevent drying out. Leave top growth standing through winter and cut back to ground in late February as new shoots emerge.
