Notes
'Ferner Osten' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Ferner Osten') is a grass for borders, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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. Its arching form adds movement to a bed, and it tolerates salt and draws birds. It blooms in summer and again in autumn. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Limelight hydrangea, Lemon Queen sunflower, and Lenten rose.
