Notes
'Little Kitten' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Little Kitten') is a grass for border, container, and accent use. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It forms an arching clump that grows 12 to 36 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It tolerates drought and salt, and it attracts birds.
Pairs well with Gaura, Joe Pye weed, Ornamental onion, and Casa Blanca lily.
