Plant it in a prairie style garden, let it mingle in a mixed border or make a centrepiece with it in a gravel garden – this ornamental grass is so gorgeous it’ll look great wherever you choose to flaunt it. Enjoy the startling red foliage which develops its intense colour through the season and then watch in awe as the fluffy white flowerheads of Miscanthus 'Lady in Red' burst forth towards the end of summer, lasting into the golden months of autumn to and bring a shimmering, gentle movement and sparkle to the garden. Once established, Miscanthus 'Lady in Red' is an impressive and incredibly low maintenance plant. It is a hardy perennial grass which forms a clump-like root system. Each year as the root system grows, the plant produced more leaves and flowers. After a few years, it reaches its full established size, standing beautifully poised at approximately 1.2m tall. Commonly known as Chinese silver grass or Red elephant grass, the shimmering flowerheads make a real statement and add a certain softness to your garden. Not only do they last through autumn in the garden, Miscanthus 'Lady in Red' often still looks great in winter and you can also use them for wreath making or to add to autumn floral arrangements.
