Botanical: Miscanthus sinensis variegatus Description:
Often referred to as Striped Eulalia Grass, this variegated miscanthus
makes an excellent specimen plant. It grows to 5 to 7 feet when mature,
and spreads 3 to 4 feet. Light green and white striped leaves arch
gracefully and are beautiful all summer, especially when rustled by the
wind. Feathery pale pink 12-inch flower fronds open in September and
October and are excellent for cutting. Medium growth rate. Growing tips: Grasses are easy
to grow, and adapts to most conditions. Feed once a year with a slow
release fertilizer in the spring at a 3-1-2 or 4-1-2 ratio). Mulch with
organic material in the fall to protect roots and shoots from freezing.
Grasses that die back completely in the winter can be cut back in the
very early spring to rejuvenate the plant and evergreen varieties which
survive the winter should only be cleaned up by removing dead growth. Height: 5-7 feet Spread: 3-4 feet Attributes: Accent, container, landscape specimen, mass planting, near water gardens or ponds, under power lines.
