The Miscanthus sinensis ‘Little Miss’ is a compact perennial ornamental grass, ideal for flower beds, small gardens, and contemporary designs. Its fine foliage changes with the seasons: green in spring, it gradually takes on burgundy red and purple hues as autumn approaches.
In late summer, light pink plumes appear above the foliage, adding texture and movement. This variety develops a dense, rounded, and well-proportioned habit, perfect for structuring a bed without taking up too much space.
Very hardy and easy to care for, ‘Little Miss’ prefers well-drained soils and full sun exposure for optimal coloration. It is also deer resistant, an important advantage for rural gardens in Quebec.
