Miscanthus sinensis 'Adagio' 24W6 Miscan R2- (Kurt Bluemel) Dwarf Maiden Grass Miscan, Mature plant size: 4x4ft,, narrow, silver-gray blades which turn yellow in fall., USDA Hardiness Zone 5, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW40, In Garden Bed R2 for 31 MONTHS (Lowes). Planted in 2021.
Missouri Botanical Garden:'Adagio' is a dwarf eulalia grass cultivar which is one of the shortest of the many Miscanthus cultivars available in commerce today, typically growing 3 to 4 feet tall (5 feet in bloom.) It is an upright, warm season, clump-forming ornamental grass which features extremely narrow, silver-gray blades which turn yellow in fall. Tiny pink-tinged flowers appear in tassel-like inflorescences above the foliage in late summer, gradually turning into creamy white plumes by fall as the seeds mature. Foliage and flower plumes persist well into winter providing good winter interest.
2023 note: a dwarf, but it takes up a considerable amount of room in the bgarden. A very strong grower, certainly at full size in the second year. An attractive plant.

Miscanthus sinensis 'Little Zebra' 24W6 Miscan F2- (Thomas Walsh, Nunica, MI) Dwarf Maiden Grass Miscan, Mature plant size: 4x4ft, horizontally-banded foliage and wine-purple flower plumes, USDA Hardiness Zone 5, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed F2 for 30 MONTHS (Lowes). Planted in 2021.
Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Little Zebra’, sometimes commonly called dwarf zebra grass, is a compact cultivar that typically grows in a clump to 3-4’ tall and to 2-3’ wide. It is noted for its compact size, upright form, horizontally-banded foliage and wine-purple flower plumes. Leaf blades feature, at irregular intervals, distinctive horizontal yellow bands (to 1” in height) that retain good coloration throughout the growing season. Flowers appear in corymbose panicles of 10-13 racemes (each to 6” long) above the foliage in late summer. Tiny flowers emerge gray-purple with the plumes having an overall wine-purple coloration. As seeds begin to form, the flower/seed plumes fade to creamy tan, often providing some winter interest. Foliage fades to tan after frost. U.S. Plant Patent PP13,008 issued September 24, 2002.

Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus' 24W6 Miscan S1- (Ornamental Grass) Maiden Grass Miscan, Mature plant size: 5x4ft., zebra-striped leaves, USDA Hardiness Zone 5, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW40, In Garden Bed S1 for 26.8 YEARS (Meijer). Planted in 1997.
Dark green leaves with zebra-striped, gold-yellow bands extending horizontally across the leaves. Tiny pink copper-tinted flowers appear in late summer. The stripes tend to burn in full sun. Torched 2018, 2019, 2021. Grows much better when burned in early spring or winter.
Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Zebrinus', knows as zebra grass, is a clump-forming grass noted for its horizontally banded foliage which is reminiscent of both the popular M. s. 'Strictus' and M. s. 'Puenktchen'. However, 'Zebrinus' clumps are rounded, tend to flop and often need support, whereas 'Strictus' and 'Puenktchen' both feature spiky, upright leaf blades in narrower clumps which usually do not need staking. 'Zebrinus' typically forms a substantial foliage clump to 4-6' tall, however it sends up flower stalks to 2' above the foliage clump, thus bringing the total height of the grass to 6-8' tall when in flower. Features dark green leaves with zebra-striped, golden yellow bands extending horizontally across the leaves at irregular intervals. Foliage gradually fades to tan after frost. Tiny pink/copper-tinted flowers appear in tassel-like inflorescences above the foliage in late summer, gradually turning into silvery white plumes in fall. Flower plumes persist well into winter providing good winter interest.

Miscanthus sinensis 'Strictus' 24W6 Miscan E1- (porcupine) Maiden Grass Miscan, Mature plant size: 5x4ft, Banded foliage, USDA Hardiness Zone 5, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed E1 for 31 MONTHS (Lowes). Planted in 2021.
Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Strictus', commonly known as porcupine grass, is noted for its horizontally banded foliage and upright, columnar habit in which the erect leaf blades purportedly resemble porcupine quills. It typically grows in an upright clump to 5-6' tall with the flower plumes raising total overall height to 8-9' tall. Features medium green leaves variegated with yellow horizontal bands. Foliage fades to tan after frost. Tiny reddish-bronze flowers appear in tassel-like inflorescences which rise well above the foliage in late summer, gradually turning into silvery plumes in fall. Flower plumes persist well into winter providing good winter interest. 'Strictus' is very similar in appearance to M. s. 'Zebrinus', except 'Zebrinus' foliage is arching and tends to flop more, often requiring staking or other support.

Features dark green leaves with zebra-striped, golden yellow bands extending horizontally across the leaves at irregular intervals. Foliage gradually fades to tan after frost. Tiny pink/copper-tinted flowers appear in tassel-like inflorescences above the foliage in late summer, gradually turning into silvery white plumes in fall. Flower plumes persist well into winter providing good winter interest.

Miscanthus sinensis 'Little Zebra' 24W6 Miscan F2- (Thomas Walsh, Nunica, MI) Dwarf Maiden Grass Miscan, Mature plant size: 4x4ft, horizontally-banded foliage and wine-purple flower plumes, USDA Hardiness Zone 5, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed F2 for 30 MONTHS (Lowes). Planted in 2021.
Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Little Zebra’, sometimes commonly called dwarf zebra grass, is a compact cultivar that typically grows in a clump to 3-4’ tall and to 2-3’ wide. It is noted for its compact size, upright form, horizontally-banded foliage and wine-purple flower plumes. Leaf blades feature, at irregular intervals, distinctive horizontal yellow bands (to 1” in height) that retain good coloration throughout the growing season. Flowers appear in corymbose panicles of 10-13 racemes (each to 6” long) above the foliage in late summer. Tiny flowers emerge gray-purple with the plumes having an overall wine-purple coloration. As seeds begin to form, the flower/seed plumes fade to creamy tan, often providing some winter interest. Foliage fades to tan after frost. U.S. Plant Patent PP13,008 issued September 24, 2002.
Peony croaked in this spot. 2022 note: fast grower.

Miscanthus sinensis 'Adagio' 24W6 Miscan R2- (Kurt Bluemel) Dwarf Maiden Grass Miscan, Mature plant size: 4x4ft,, narrow, silver-gray blades which turn yellow in fall., USDA Hardiness Zone 5, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW40, In Garden Bed R2 for 31 MONTHS (Lowes). Planted in 2021.
Missouri Botanical Garden:'Adagio' is a dwarf eulalia grass cultivar which is one of the shortest of the many Miscanthus cultivars available in commerce today, typically growing 3 to 4 feet tall (5 feet in bloom.) It is an upright, warm season, clump-forming ornamental grass which features extremely narrow, silver-gray blades which turn yellow in fall. Tiny pink-tinged flowers appear in tassel-like inflorescences above the foliage in late summer, gradually turning into creamy white plumes by fall as the seeds mature. Foliage and flower plumes persist well into winter providing good winter interest.
2023 note: a dwarf, but it takes up a considerable amount of room in the bgarden. A very strong grower, certainly at full size in the second year. An attractive plant.

Miscanthus sinensis 'Strictus' 24W6 Miscan E1- (porcupine) Maiden Grass Miscan, Mature plant size: 5x4ft, Banded foliage, USDA Hardiness Zone 5, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed E1 for 31 MONTHS (Lowes). Planted in 2021.
Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Strictus', commonly known as porcupine grass, is noted for its horizontally banded foliage and upright, columnar habit in which the erect leaf blades purportedly resemble porcupine quills. It typically grows in an upright clump to 5-6' tall with the flower plumes raising total overall height to 8-9' tall. Features medium green leaves variegated with yellow horizontal bands. Foliage fades to tan after frost. Tiny reddish-bronze flowers appear in tassel-like inflorescences which rise well above the foliage in late summer, gradually turning into silvery plumes in fall. Flower plumes persist well into winter providing good winter interest. 'Strictus' is very similar in appearance to M. s. 'Zebrinus', except 'Zebrinus' foliage is arching and tends to flop more, often requiring staking or other support.
