Miscanthus sinensis, commonly known as Chinese silver grass, is a perennial grass native to East Asia. It typically grows in clumps, reaching heights of 3 to 10 feet, and features long, arching leaves that can be green or variegated. In late summer and fall, it produces feathery flower plumes that turn silvery-white, adding ornamental value to gardens and landscapes. This grass is often used for erosion control and as a bioenergy crop due to its high biomass yield. Miscanthus sinensis is also valued for its ability to thrive in various soil types and its low maintenance requirements, making it a popular choice for gardeners and landscapers.
