Miscanthus sinensis 'Red Chief'
Miscanthus sinensis 'Red Chief' is a striking ornamental grass valued for its arching foliage and dramatic flower plumes. In late summer, feathery heads emerge in a rich red tone, standing well above the foliage and gradually maturing to silvery shades as the season progresses. The narrow, upright green leaves form a dense clump, turning warm golden-brown in autumn and persisting through winter for long-lasting structure.
Perfect for adding height, movement, and texture to mixed borders or prairie-style plantings, ‘Red Chief’ is a hardy, reliable choice that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Its elegant form and seasonal colour make it an excellent feature plant, as well as a companion to late-flowering perennials.
