Miscanthus sinensis 'Silberspinne' |
+ Add |
Eulalia Grass |
Description
This variety of Miscanthus is an ornamental grass that does best in full sun to half sun. It needs medium to low water. It tends to flop in too much shade however. Eulalia expands in its circumference, keeping the crown tight. It needs well-drained soil. The clumps are about 4'-5' wide and about .5" wide. Tiny pink flowers in inflorescences appear in late summer, well above the stalks. The flowers, which resemble tassels, turn to silver later, thus the spider-like appearance and thus the cultivar name.

Water Saving Tip:
Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
