The Ornamental Grass 'Little Kitten', 'Miscanthus 'Little Kitten', is one ornamental grass that cannot be missed. Being similar to a cat’s tongue, this Miscanthus forms a foliage clump to only 15" tall. The pointed, narrow leaves are showy, with plumes of silver-white with pink and reddish tinges that appear in August. The plumes will last well into the winter and can be used as fresh or dried flower cuttings. 'Little Kitten' should be planted in full sun to part shade and prefers a moist soil area. Try this ornamental grass as a front of the border plant with Coreopsis, Echinacea or Liatris.

  Terrific for a smaller garden and partial shade, 8/3/2008 3:56:40 AM
Reviewer: MoRed
This spring we massed several of these at the edge of a smallish, well drained garden area, with late afternoon shade, along with some Magnus and Kim's Knee High coneflower. We just love the results. They have thrived during a very wet spring and summer here in Missouri, and have a very attractive, lush form. Even though this grass may be diminutive, it certainly has an "attitude" that makes it a winner for us!
