Notes

'Graziella' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Graziella') is a grass for borders, specimen planting, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It makes silvery white plumes in late summer, and the leaves turn copper-red in fall. The straw colored winter leaves keep the clump interesting. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.

Pairs well with Joe Pye weed, Gaura, and Ornamental onion.
