Dwarf Maiden Grass 'Yaku Jima' (Miscanthus sinensis 'Yaku Jima')

Dwarf Maiden Grass 'Yaku Jima' – Compact Variegated Miscanthus

Miscanthus sinensis 'Yaku Jima' is a compact, clump-forming cultivar of Chinese Silvergrass, typically reaching only 3–4 feet tall. Its narrow leaves are elegantly striped with white margins, and it produces feathery, silvery plumes in late summer that persist into winter. This dwarf selection is perfect for smaller gardens, containers, or the front of borders. It shares the same adaptability as the species: full sun, moist well-drained soil, and good drought tolerance once established.
