Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus'
Choose Gracillimus Maiden Grass if you want a fine-textured upright grass with winter presence and a classic Miscanthus look. The tradeoff: it needs room and is not a Massachusetts shipping option.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | Fine blades and tan winter stems give it a strong presence without looking coarse. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a steady pace, though it is not instant coverage in the first season. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on one hard cutback before new growth, plus cleanup if winter stems break. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer do not browse Miscanthus — the coarse, silica-edged blades are not worth eating. They will bed down in a mature clump from time to time, which flattens it until the spring cutback. |
| Small Space Fit | C | The graceful shape loses its value when squeezed against walks, doors, or narrow beds. |
| Screening Value | B | It gives seasonal softness and partial privacy, but it is cut back and not evergreen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Gracillimus in groups or as a single anchor, not crammed into a narrow strip. For Massachusetts orders, pick a non-Miscanthus grass instead.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
