ADAGIO MAIDEN GRASS
Miscanthus sinensis 'Adagio', commonly known as Adagio Maiden Grass, is a "dwarf" cultivar prized for its refined, compact habit and heavy flower production. Unlike its larger relatives that can become unruly, 'Adagio' forms a tidy, symmetrical fountain of very narrow, silvery-green blades that typically reaches 3 to 4 feet tall (about 5 feet when in bloom). In late summer, it produces spectacular, fan-shaped flower plumes that emerge a shimmering bronze-pink before maturing into creamy, wind-swept white tufts that persist well into winter. In autumn, the fine-textured foliage takes on a beautiful golden-yellow to orange hue, providing a warm "glow" to the late-season garden.
Caring for 'Adagio' is remarkably simple, as it is one of the sturdiest and drought-tolerant ornamental grasses available. It performs most brilliantly in full sun, which is essential for maintaining its upright shape and ensuring a massive flush of flowers; in too much shade, the plant may "flop" or fail to bloom. Adagio is highly adaptable to a wide range of soil types, including heavy clay, provided it is well-drained and not sitting in stagnant water.
