Places like Lowe's run towards the 'common or garden' varieties ;-) This
particular cultivar isn't common.

If you're searching online, btw, the German has a typo in it in the
caption to Graham Rice's photo. It should be Miscanthus sinensis "Kleine
Fontaene". (The a is a Umlaut)

There are many attractive smaller Miscanthus cultivars. A useful list:

One of the nicest commercial sites for ornamentals grasses is
http://www.hostas.com/ They have many photos and some very useful charts.
