Upright and refined in habit, it produces a dense fountain of narrow, arching green leaves that gradually develop warm red and bronze tones as autumn approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eFrom late summer into autumn, tall flowering stems rise above the foliage, carrying airy, feathery plumes that emerge with a soft reddish tint before maturing to silvery-pink. The flowers catch the light beautifully and move gently in the breeze, making ‘Lady in Red’ an excellent choice for adding structure and movement to borders.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eUnlike many larger Miscanthus varieties, ‘Lady in Red’ has a relatively neat and manageable habit, making it particularly useful for modern gardens, mixed borders and smaller planting schemes. It works equally well as a feature plant or planted in groups to create a soft, naturalistic effect.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThis versatile grass is happiest in full sun, where it will develop its strongest growth and best flowering, although it will tolerate some light shade. It prefers a fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil and becomes increasingly drought tolerant once established. Cut the old foliage back to ground level in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e‘Lady in Red’ provides interest over a long season. Its fresh summer foliage gives way to rich autumn colouring, while the attractive seedheads can be left standing through winter to provide structure and movement when many other plants have died back. The dried flower plumes also offer valuable habitat and cover for wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA superb choice for cottage gardens, prairie-style planting, contemporary borders and wildlife-friendly schemes\u003cspan\u003e, Miscanthus ‘Lady in Red’ combines graceful form with excellent seasonal interest and relatively low maintenance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arundel Arboretum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57245505061242,"sku":"MISC-LIRD-GRAS-3","price":16.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9130\/4688\/files\/a51ca97b-1a40-44bc-b678-8b75fb4e0e7b.jpg?v=1788864265","url":"https:\/\/www.arundelarboretum.co.uk\/products\/miscanthus-sinensis-lady-in-red-grass-3lt","provider":"Arundel Arboretum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
