The dwarf maiden grass, also known as Miscanthus sinensis 'Adagio', adds a delicate touch to any garden through its fine foliage and soft, feather-like blooms. To properly maintain this ornamental grass, it is important for gardeners of all ages to understand maiden grass care. This manageable grass, with its resilience and ability to thrive in full sun environments, is a popular choice for novice and seasoned gardeners alike. Whether in quart or 3 gallon sizes, such as the Miscanthus adagio quart and 3 gallon options, this drought tolerant grass is perfect for enhancing outdoor spaces. Its minimal maintenance needs and compact elegance make it a favorite among gardeners seeking low-fuss beauty. With proper care, the adagio maiden grass will continue to bring natural splendor to any outdoor living space for years to come.

The Dwarf Maiden Grass, also known as Miscanthus sinensis 'Adagio', is an easy-to-care-for ornamental grass that brings excitement to any sunny garden. Reaching a height of 4 feet and a width of 8 feet, its fan-shaped plumes add an extra touch of drama in late summer. As winter approaches and a frost covers the landscape, the plant goes dormant, turning a hay color that adds life and movement to the winter garden.

Because of its wider shape rather than height, this grass won't droop in the rain like taller varieties. As deeply rooted ornamental plants, it's perfect for preventing erosion. 'Adajio' Grass also adds movement to your garden on a breezy day and is low maintenance. Simply provide it with average moisture and prune to 4-6 inches in early spring. For a sun tolerant and deer resistant combination, try pairing it with 'Daub's Frosted' Juniper and 'Pugster Blue' Butterfly Bush.
