Miscanthus sinensis 'Ruby Cute'

Miscanthus 'Ruby Cute'

Miscanthus 'Ruby Cute' is a charming and compact cultivar of maiden grass, prized for its striking foliage and manageable size. This ornamental grass forms neat, arching clumps that typically reach a height of 60-90 cm, making it suitable for smaller gardens or front-of-border plantings. The slender leaves emerge green in spring, gradually developing eye-catching ruby-red tips and midribs as the season progresses, creating a vibrant, two-toned effect.

In late summer to early autumn, 'Ruby Cute' produces feathery plumes that rise slightly above the foliage. These silver-pink inflorescences catch the light beautifully and add a soft, ethereal quality to the plant's appearance. As autumn advances, the entire plant takes on rich burgundy tones, extending its ornamental value well into the winter months.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Miscanthus 'Ruby Cute' is adaptable to various soil types, provided they are well-draining. Its compact nature and striking colouration make it an excellent choice for containers, mixed borders, or as a stand-alone specimen in contemporary or traditional garden designs.
