Notes
'Yakushima Dwarf' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Yakushima Dwarf') is a grass for borders, containers, and specimen planting. 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 35 to 47 inches tall and 24 to 36 inches wide. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Birds visit it, and it tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Moerheim Beauty sneezeweed, Russian sage, and Lucifer montbretia.
