Miscanthus sinensis 'Little Kitten' is a dwarf maiden grass cultivar. Its stiff, arching narrow green leaves are only 15 inches tall. They turn gold in the fall. Silvery-white coloured feathery flower plumes rise above the foliage, in late summer through fall and winter. This is an excellent grass for containers and borders. Both the flower and the foliage are used in fresh and dried flower arrangements.
