Add some gracefully elegant vegetation to your garden with dwarf maiden grass, a plant that's known for its compact size and delicate beauty. The Miscanthus little kitten, also known as the little fountain maiden grass, is one of the most sought-after types of maiden grass. With its finely tapered blades and rich, earthy colors, the little kitten maiden grass is a charming addition to your outdoor space. It would also be ideal for those looking into the adagio dwarf maiden grass, another variety. Furthermore, the little kitten miscanthus, or miscanthus sinensis little kitten, captivates with its remarkable versatility and resilience. As its name suggests, the little kitten dwarf maiden grass will indeed grow to be as compact and cute as a little kitten, making it a perfect choice for small or densely-planted gardens.
The smallest of the maiden grass family, “Little Kitten” Maiden Grass is a silvery-green ornamental grass standing only 12-15” tall and 12-20” wide, a perfect size for a garden filler, a border of a path, or around fencing or other hard-to-trim areas. It grows in arching, slender blades, and in the late summer and fall, it is topped with silvery-white seed heads that open into golden plumes. The plumes are a wonderful addition to a floral arrangement. In the fall, the leaves transform into a fountain of golden color as it stirs and shimmers in the breeze.
“Little Kitten” grows quickly, loves full sun, and is a perennial variety that can be enjoyed year after year. Simply trim it back early each spring to allow for new growth. It thrives in zones 5-9 and adapts to most soil types. It is drought tolerant and deer and disease resistant. It even tolerates salt spray, making it perfect for coastal regions. Birds love the seed heads and cover maiden grass offers. Little Kitten Maiden Grass is a beautiful, whimsical addition to any garden, boasting vibrant silver and gold tones in playful, cascading leaves.
