Adagio Maiden Grass

Miscanthus sinensis 'Adagio'

Adagio Maiden Grass is an upright dwarf ornamental grass that forms dense clumps of arching grass-like foliage.  The foliage emerges bronze pink and matures to silver green before turning yellow for fall.  Airy tassel-like pink plumes bloom above the foliage in late summer and gradually mature to white and persist into winter.  Best color in full sun and moist well-drained soil.  Aggressive enough to be invasive in milder climates.
