Notes
'Silberfeder' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Silberfeder') is a grass for borders, specimens, accents, and naturalized areas. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It grows 71 to 94 inches tall with an arching habit and tolerates drought and salt. Birds visit it.
Pairs well with Cheyenne Spirit echinacea, Autumn Beauty sunflower, and Korean spice viburnum.
