Chinese Silvergrass 'Cosmopolitan' (Miscanthus sinensis 'Cosmopolitan')

Chinese Silvergrass 'Cosmopolitan' – Boldly Variegated Ornamental Grass

Miscanthus sinensis 'Cosmopolitan' is a striking cultivar of maiden grass, noted for its broad, creamy-white margins on deep green leaves, creating a luminous effect in the garden. This deciduous, clump-forming grass reaches 5–6 feet tall, producing feathery, reddish-brown plumes in late summer that mature to silvery-white. It performs best in full sun with moist, fertile soil and provides excellent winter interest. 'Cosmopolitan' is a versatile specimen for borders, mass plantings, or as a focal point in mixed beds.
