Standing tall and majestic, Cosmopolitan Maiden Grass makes a dramatic statement, particularly when paired with large-leaved perennials. The juxtaposition of its fountain-like habit against other plants creates a striking visual contrast that enhances any garden bed or foundation planting.
In the fall, Cosmopolitan Maiden Grass reveals its full beauty with the emergence of large coppery-pink flowers, which eventually dry to a botanical tan, adding visual interest and a touch of elegance to the winter landscape. Its arching green leaves, adorned with creamy margins and soft-greenish midribs, lend a graceful and refined appearance to any setting.
As the seasons transition, Cosmopolitan Maiden Grass undergoes a stunning transformation. In autumn, its foliage takes on a radiant golden-yellow hue, transitioning to a lovely straw beige during the winter months. The silvery-white tones of its aging foliage provide a captivating winter presence, adding depth and texture to the garden even in the coldest months.
