'China' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'China') is a grass for borders, specimen planting, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It has an arching habit, blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and tolerates salt. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
