Grass - Red Silver Maiden The Grass 'Red Silver' Maiden, Miscanthus sinensis 'Rotsilber', has arrow-like silvery foliage that is topped with red flowers in fall.

It requires occasional maintenance and upkeep, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. 'Red Silver' prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This plant is deer resistant, attracts birds, and will grow in many different soil types and pH levels.
