Notes
'Kleine Fontäne' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Kleine Fontäne') is a grass for borders, containers, and specimen or accent planting. 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. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Its arching form grows at a moderate pace and draws birds. It handles drought and salt well.
Pairs well with Cheyenne Spirit echinacea, Spotted beebalm, and Autumn Beauty sunflower.
