Notes
'Gewitterwolke' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Gewitterwolke') 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. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Its arching form adds movement to the garden, and it tolerates salt. Birds visit it, and it blooms in summer and again in autumn.
Pairs well with Limelight hydrangea, Raspberry Sundae peony, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
