Notes
'NCMS2B' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'NCMS2B') is a grass for borders, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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. Its arching clumps reach 30 to 36 inches tall and wide, and silvery pink plumes fade to beige. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Birds visit the plant, and it tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Blue wild indigo, Beautyberry, and Queen of Night tulip.
