Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The preeminent plantsman, Ernest Pagels, out did himself when he bred this exquisite ornamental grass, considered by many to be the most beautiful of the more diminutive Miscanthus. Its merits are numerous: an elegant compact silhouette, early-to-bloom rouge- tinged flowers held well above fine-textured blades and excellent cold hardiness. Unlikely to overwhelm its neighbors, 'Little Fountain' effectively ushers arching, deep green fluid accents and stylish long lasting plumes into any planting, especially those short on space.
