Elegant, Compact, and Full of Movement—Meet Adagio Maiden Grass
Bring graceful texture and year-round interest to your garden with Adagio Maiden Grass (Miscanthus sinensis 'Adagio'), a compact ornamental grass known for its fine blades, tidy shape, and feathery plumes.
Growing just 3–4 feet tall (up to 5 ft when in bloom), Adagio is perfect for smaller gardens, borders, and containers. In late summer, it produces soft, silvery-pink flower plumes that rise above the foliage and gradually turn a tawny bronze in fall. Even in winter, the dried plumes and upright form offer beautiful contrast and structure in the landscape.
