'Adagio' Dwarf Maiden Grass (Miscanthus sinensis 'Adagio') is famed for having the greatest abundance of flowers of any of the maiden grasses. The plant forms clumps of graceful, thin green leaves about 4 feet tall and as wide. The flower plumes appear in August in pinkish hues and gradually turn white. This grass likes sun. It's said to be a superb choice especially for small landscapes.
