| Botanical Name | Miscanthus sinensis 'Adagio' |
| Description | 'Adagio' is one of the best-performing dwarf Maiden Grasses for the Houston area due to its exceptional humidity tolerance. While it is adaptable to many soil types including clay, it performs best in well-draining soil and should not be placed in low spots where water collects. Its narrow foliage creates a shimmering silver effect that stands up well to our intense summer sun. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 3-5 ft. Tall x 3 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; drought tolerant once established. |
| Zones | 5 - 9 |
| Fertilization | A light application of balanced fertilizer in early spring is sufficient. |
| Pruning | Cut back to 4-6 inches in late winter (February) before new green shoots emerge. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
