Adagio Maiden Grass (Miscanthus sinensis ‘Adagio’) is a striking ornamental grass that adds movement, texture, and seasonal color to the landscape. Silvery-green foliage in spring and summer transitions to bronze-pink in the fall, while plumed seed heads emerge in autumn and persist through winter, providing year-round interest. This grass has a gentle spreading habit by seed, making it an excellent choice for naturalized areas or meadow-style plantings.

Adagio Maiden Grass combines beauty and versatility, making it ideal for borders, mass plantings, or as a focal point in mixed garden beds. Its elegant form and seasonal color changes enhance both small and large garden designs.

Adagio Maiden Grass Care

Plant in well-drained soil and water regularly until established. Divide plants as needed using a sharp shovel to rejuvenate growth. Cut back foliage in late winter or early spring before new shoots emerge to maintain a tidy appearance and promote healthy growth.

Adagio Maiden Grass Growth & Spacing

Adagio Maiden Grass typically grows 4–5 feet tall and 3–4 feet wide. For mass plantings, space plants 4–6 feet apart on center to allow for mature growth and airflow.
