Notes
'Little Miss' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Little Miss') is a grass for borders, specimens, accents, and perennial beds. 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 forms an arching mound of green leaves that grows 36 to 48 inches tall. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Birds visit it, and it tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Magnus coneflower, Annabelle hydrangea, and Stargazer lily.
