Notes
'Grosse Fontäne' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Grosse Fontäne') is a grass for borders, specimen planting, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The arching clumps grow at a moderate pace and tolerate drought and salt. Birds visit the plant. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Cheyenne Spirit echinacea, Autumn Beauty sunflower, and Lenten rose.
