Plant Overview

Arabesque Maiden Grass is a stunning ornamental grass that adds graceful movement and year-round interest to any landscape. Its arching foliage creates a fountain-like appearance, with silver-white midribs that catch the light beautifully. In late summer, copper-colored plumes emerge above the foliage, maturing to a silvery-white that persists through winter.

Plant Care

Arabesque Maiden Grass is remarkably low-maintenance once established. Cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Division is recommended every 3-4 years to maintain vigor and prevent center die-out. This grass is drought-tolerant but performs best with regular watering during establishment. Remove spent flower plumes in fall if desired, or leave them standing for winter interest.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or early fall for best results. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, firming gently to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown.
