Description
Bring a touch of high-fashion sophistication to your garden with the Miscanthus ‘Lady in Red’ (Miscanthus sinensis 'Lady in Red'). This exceptional cultivar of Maiden Grass is widely celebrated for having some of the most intense color transitions in the ornamental grass world. While many grasses wait until the frost to change, 'Lady in Red' begins its show early, providing a multi-season performance that anchors the landscape with movement and grace.
A Symphony of Color
In the spring and summer, the foliage emerges with a unique, moody blend of dark purple and deep forest green. As the days begin to shorten, the transformation is nothing short of astonishing. The blades shift into a brilliant, glowing red that captures the autumn light beautifully. In September, the plant is topped with feathery, silvery-white plumes that dance above the red foliage, creating a striking contrast that lasts well into the winter months.
Sophisticated Structure and Movement
Growing to a tidy, upright height of over five feet, 'Lady in Red' provides the perfect amount of vertical drama without becoming unruly. Use it as a focal point in a mixed border, or plant several in a row to create a soft, swaying privacy screen that whispers in the wind. Its fine texture and arching habit add a sense of softness to hardscapes and patio containers alike.
Effortless Landscape Performance
Beyond its beauty, this Miscanthus is a workhorse. It is notably resistant to pests and diseases, and its tough blades are rarely bothered by browsing deer. Whether you are looking to add "winter interest" to a snowy landscape or a "pop of fire" to your fall garden, 'Lady in Red' delivers high-impact results with very little effort from the gardener.

The plants were just barely plants. I got so.e dirt and 3 leaves. You couldn't have sent me less and still called it Miscanthus Lady in Red.
Very seriously disappointed.
My first plant didn’t seem to be growing. I contacted them and they responded immediately and sent me a replacement at no charge under their guarantee. I am looking forward to my Miscanthus to grow fully, it looks besutivul.
Miscanthus Lady in Red can be slow to get going in its first season, so it's good that you reached out and our team was able to get a replacement to you. Once it settles in and puts down roots, you'll see it really take off, and that red-tinged foliage is worth the wait. Thanks for giving us the chance to make it right, Rosalyn.
A BIG thanks for my miscanthus!
Miscanthus 'Lady in Red' is such a rewarding grass to grow, with that fine texture and the warm reddish tones it picks up through the season. Thanks for the kind note, John. Give it a season to settle in and it will really hit its stride.
I have planted two, and so far all are doing well.
Two Lady in Red miscanthus off to a good start is great to see. As they settle in over the season, you should notice the red-tinged foliage really deepen, especially in good sun. Thanks for the update, Dale.
