Adagio Dwarf Maiden Grass

Adagio Maiden Grass (Miscanthus sinensis ‘Adagio’) is a smaller, more refined ornamental grass that adds movement and texture without overwhelming the landscape. Its narrow, arching foliage forms a graceful clump through spring and summer, followed by soft, airy flower plumes in late summer and fall.

This compact miscanthus works beautifully in mixed borders, foundation beds, mass plantings, and sunny landscape areas. Its subtle texture pairs well with flowering shrubs, evergreen hedges, natural stone, and contemporary hardscape designs. As the season changes, the foliage and plumes continue to provide soft interest into fall and winter.

Sold in a 3-gallon container. Plant size, fullness, and plume coverage naturally vary by season and nursery availability.
