Miscanthus sinensis 'Lady in Red', commonly sold as Chinese Silver Grass 'Lady in Red', is a tall warm-season ornamental grass valued for changing red foliage and airy late-season plumes. The clump rises about 60 to 72 inches in bloom with a 24 to 36 inch spread, giving you vertical structure without the weight of a shrub. Its blades open dark green with red and purple tones, then intensify toward fiery red as the season cools.

Use this grass as a specimen, repeating accent, loose screen, or backdrop for sunny perennial borders. The fine foliage sways easily, softening fences, corners, and foundation plantings, while feathery plumes add a lighter layer from late summer into fall. It pairs well with coneflowers, asters, rudbeckias, sedums, and other late performers that benefit from height, movement, and warm autumn color.

Plant Miscanthus sinensis 'Lady in Red' in full sun for the strongest color, though part shade is tolerated where light is still bright. Provide well-drained, moderately moist soil and water regularly during the first season to help the roots establish. Once settled, the plant is low maintenance, generally deer resistant, and adaptable to ordinary garden conditions, but avoid constantly wet sites or excessive fertilizer that can encourage flopping.

Leave the dried stems and plumes standing through winter if you enjoy their tan texture and movement, then cut the clump close to the ground in late winter or early spring before new shoots emerge. In warm regions, check local guidance for Miscanthus planting and remove unwanted seedlings if they appear. With good siting, this cultivar delivers a bold, red-toned column that anchors the garden from midsummer into the dormant season.
