Fire Dragon Maiden Grass | Miscanthus sinensis 'Fire Dragon'

Turn up the heat in your fall landscape with Fire Dragon Maiden Grass—a striking ornamental grass prized for its blazing red foliage and graceful plumes. This variety of Miscanthus sinensis lives up to its name, bursting into intense crimson and burgundy hues as summer fades, bringing fiery energy to borders, mass plantings, and containers.

In spring and summer, Fire Dragon forms an elegant, upright clump of fine green blades, reaching 5–6 feet tall. By late summer, it produces soft, coppery flower plumes that catch the light beautifully and last through winter. It’s drought-tolerant once established and requires little maintenance—just cut it back in late winter or early spring.

A reliable favorite for four-season interest, this grass provides texture, height, movement, and incredible fall color.
