Notes
'Flamingo' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Flamingo') is a grass for borders, specimens, accents, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Light pink plumes open earlier than on most cultivars, then turn silver white and last for months. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The narrow leaves turn orange in fall and then tan.
Pairs well with Gaura, Ornamental onion, and Green Velvet buxus.
