Actually, it's Ms. H!

Maiden Grass, also known by its botanical name of Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus' is one of most attractive types of ornamental grass. In most cases, these types of grass are classed as warm season grasses, so won't start in to growth until the nights are warm enough. Be patient if you're anxious to see if they're alive, because they do seem to be reluctant to start growing.
