Chinese Silvergrass 'Malepartus' (Miscanthus sinensis 'Malepartus')

Chinese Silvergrass 'Malepartus' – Early-Blooming Miscanthus with Reddish Plumes

Miscanthus sinensis 'Malepartus' is a popular cultivar known for its early flowering, often producing showy, reddish-pink plumes in mid-summer that mature to silvery-white. The foliage forms a substantial, arching clump 5–6 feet tall, turning attractive shades of orange and red in autumn. Like other miscanthus, it thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. 'Malepartus' is valued for its long season of interest, from summer blooms through winter structure.
