Little Miss Red Maiden Grass
Little Miss Red Maiden Grass (Miscanthus sinensis ‘Little Miss’) is a compact ornamental grass prized for its dramatic, shifting foliage color and tidy, upright form. Emerging green in spring, the blades transition to deep burgundy, red, and purple tones as the season progresses—especially in cooler fall weather. Coppery-pink flower plumes appear in late summer and add soft texture above the foliage. Drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and low maintenance, Little Miss brings bold color and movement to borders, containers, or mass plantings.
Height/Spread: 2–3 ft tall × 1.5–2.5 ft wide (up to 3.5 ft with plumes)
Bloom Time: Late summer to fall
Light: Full sun
Hardiness Zone: USDA Zones 5–9
Ships in a trade 1-gallon pot.
Features:
Striking foliage turns red, burgundy, and purple in fall
Copper-pink plumes provide soft late-season interest
Compact and upright—great for small gardens and containers
Drought-tolerant once established
Deer-resistant and low maintenance
Adds texture, movement, and vibrant fall color
