Miscanthus sinensis Red Chief

Miscanthus sinensis Red Chief is a striking ornamental grass that brings height, texture, and colour to garden landscapes. This deciduous grass forms an elegant, upright clump of arching green foliage, which transitions to warm golden tones in autumn. In late summer, deep red flower plumes emerge, maturing to a soft silvery hue, providing long-lasting visual interest well into winter.

Flourishing in well-drained soils, including loam, sand, and chalk, Miscanthus sinensis ‘Red Chief’ thrives in full sun and is drought-tolerant once established. Its robust and low-maintenance nature makes it an excellent choice for mixed borders, prairie-style plantings, and contemporary garden designs.

Ideal for creating movement and structure in the landscape, this versatile grass works beautifully as a specimen plant, in mass plantings, or as a natural screen. Its striking colour shifts and feathery plumes make it a standout feature in any garden setting.
