Grass Adagio
Description: The "Adagio" Grass is a compact variety of Maiden Grass, featuring narrow, green foliage with white midribs that forms dense clumps. In late summer to early fall, it produces slender, feathery plumes that rise above the foliage, transitioning from pinkish to silvery-white as they mature. These airy plumes persist into winter, adding visual interest to the landscape even after the foliage has turned brown. Size: This grass typically grows to a height of about 3 to 4 feet and has a spread of 2 to 3 feet, forming a tidy, fountain-like mound. Its compact size makes it suitable for smaller gardens, borders, mass plantings, or container gardening. Compared to other Miscanthus varieties, 'Adagio' is considered relatively dwarf, making it more versatile in landscapes with limited space. Best Growing Zones: The "Adagio" Grass thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5 to 9, although it may also grow well in zone 4 with adequate winter protection. It prefers regions with moderately warm summ
