Scout Maiden Grass

Ornamental grasses are the graceful soldiers of the garden and Scout™ Maiden Grass (Miscanthus sinensis 'M77') takes a stand in the landscape with its bolt-upright form! Scout™ features glossy green foliage with a variegated white midrib, for a two-tone effect. It just sparkles while swaying in the breeze and sun!

Creating upright fountains in the landscape with slender blades. The variegated form this grass takes accents the incredible summer plumes. In fall foliage often brings out yellow hues to the blades.

The feathery cream-pink blooms rise above the foliage. Turning pale beige and the blooms give your garden fall and winter character. Blooming a month earlier than Gracillimus, Scout™ gives your floral bouquets and your garden a whimsical textural contrast throughout late summer.

#ProPlantTips For Care

Strongest and the most dramatic in full sun, these just glow! Imagine seeing the rising or setting sun backlight these fronds from behind is breathtaking!

Adaptable to salt, drought and wet winter soil, these are cold hardy, deer and rabbit-resistant plus, highly pest and disease-free! Miscanthus requires well-drained soil but becomes highly drought-tolerant once established. Easy-to-grow, Maiden Grass is cold hardy in USDA hardiness zones 5 through 10.

Warm-season grasses won't grow until the soil temperature warms so have patience. Prune each year cutting all foliage to just a few inches before growth starts to appear in early spring and remove built-up leaves and debris from the center. The plumes are not fertile so reseeding isn't an issue with Scout™.
