Notes
'Rigoletto' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Rigoletto') is a grass for borders, specimens, and accents. 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. Bronze blooms appear in summer and again in autumn, and birds visit the plant. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It also tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Joe Pye weed, Sarah Bernhardt peony, and Queen of Night tulip.
