Grass with Sass

MISCANTHUS ADAGIO

Looking to add a little sass to your garden? Then ‘Miscanthus Adagio’ is for you! This perennial ornamental grass will bring that structure, style & texture you’ve been searching for.

Adagio is a fast-growing, dwarf variety that will reach approximately 5 feet x 3 feet, preferring partial to full sun. It’s an upright, warm season, clump-forming ornamental grass which features extremely narrow, silver-gray blades which turn yellow in fall. Tiny pink-tinged flowers appear in tassel-like plumes above the foliage in August, which gradually turn to a creamy white by fall as the seeds mature. Foliage and flower plumes persist well into winter providing good winter interest as well.

Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. For a neat appearance, remove old foliage before new leaves emerge. Divide clumps every 2 to 3 years in early spring and prune each spring.

Try planting this grass as an accent ~ or, go bold and really make a statement by planting a grouping!
