Notes
'Gold und Silber' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Gold und Silber') 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 birds visit it. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It also tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Limelight hydrangea, Autumn Beauty sunflower, and Raspberry Sundae peony.
