Plant Overview Bandwidth Maiden Grass is a stunning ornamental grass that adds texture, movement, and year-round interest to any landscape. Its distinctive green and white striped foliage creates a dramatic vertical accent, while its graceful arching form provides an elegant backdrop for other garden plants. In late summer, copper-colored plumes emerge above the foliage, creating a spectacular display that persists through winter. Plant Information Latin Name: Miscanthus sinensis ‘Bandwidth’ Common Name: Bandwidth Maiden Grass Watering Requirements: Medium Sun Exposure: Full Sun to Part Shade Soil Conditions: Well-draining, adaptable to most soil types Mature Plant Height: 3-4 feet Mature Plant Width: 2-3 feet Plant Care Bandwidth Maiden Grass is remarkably low-maintenance once established. Cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. During the first growing season, water regularly to establish a deep root system. After establishment, this grass is drought tolerant but performs best with consistent moisture. Fertilization is typically unnecessary, but a light application of balanced fertilizer in spring can promote healthy growth. Division may be necessary every 3-4 years to maintain plant vigor and prevent center die-out. This grass shows excellent resistance to pests and diseases, making it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. Planting Instructions Plant in spring or early fall for best results. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring it sits at the same level as it did in the container. Backfill with soil, firming gently to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown. Space plants 2-3 feet apart to allow for mature spread. In colder regions, provide extra winter protection during the first year.
