Notes
'Yakushima' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Yakushima') is a grass for borders, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Its arching form adds soft movement to the garden, and it tolerates salt. Birds visit it.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Joe-pyeweed, and Red spider lily.
