Notes
'Ghana' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Ghana') is a grass for borders, specimen planting, 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. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. It grows in an arching clump that reaches about 5 to 6 feet tall. Birds visit it, and it tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Gaura, and Royal Purple smoketree.
