Notes
'Lady in Red' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Lady in Red') is a grass. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun. Deer tend to browse other plants first. The narrow, arching leaves open dark purple and green, turn green by summer, and glow red in autumn. Silvery-cream plumes rise above the foliage, and the straw-yellow winter stems shelter birds and insects.
Pairs well with Yellow iris, Evelyn rose, and Snowdrop.
