Maidengrass

About this plant

Miscanthus sinensis 'Adagio' is a standout ornamental grass, prized for its refined, feathery plumes that emerge in late summer, transitioning from a soft pinkish-bronze to a creamy silver as autumn approaches. Its compact, mounding growth habit makes it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or for adding a delicate vertical element without overwhelming the space. This cultivar brings a sophisticated touch as a specimen plant, in mass plantings for a textural backdrop, or within mixed borders, providing year-round interest. Its slender, arching foliage sways beautifully in the breeze, creating a soothing, dynamic display. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, 'Adagio' is remarkably adaptable and low-maintenance, thriving in a variety of conditions once established. It offers exceptional cold hardiness and disease resistance, ensuring a stunning performance year after year.

Care & maintenance

In late winter or early spring, cut back all foliage to about 6 inches from the ground to encourage new growth. Requires minimal fertilization.
