Miscanthus sinensis ‘Rigoletto’

Miscanthus sinensis ‘Rigoletto’ is a gorgeous variegated maiden grass.

Miscanthus sinensis ‘Rigoletto’ is a beautiful variegated maiden grass with narrow, delicate leaves with creamy-white variegation that forms a beautiful, compact, arching clump that is less likely to flop later in the season. Great in the garden but also with outstanding performance in containers. Maiden grasses are one of the best grasses for year-round beauty: new green shoots in the spring become tall linear leaves that form an elegant clump by midsummer. Attractive flowers emerge in fall. In winter the leaves turn straw colour and provide much interest.
