Eureka Farms Maiden Grass Adagio

Since Adagio Maiden Grass reaches a spread of 3 to 4 feet, you should space them at least 3 to 4 feet apart if you want them to grow into distinct, individual clumps. If you are planting them for a continuous hedge or border, you can space them slightly closer, around 2.5 to 3 feet apart.

Yes, this variety is generally avoided by deer. While no plant is 100% deer-proof if food sources are scarce, Adagio Maiden Grass is a reliable choice for landscapes where deer pressure is a concern.

No, it is deciduous. The foliage will turn a warm golden-bronze in the autumn and eventually fade to a tan or straw color as winter progresses. It provides excellent structural interest throughout the colder months, but it will not remain green.

This grass performs best in full sun, which means at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. While it is adaptable, planting it in too much shade will result in weaker stems, less vibrant color, and fewer of its signature silvery plumes.

You should cut the foliage back to about 6 to 12 inches above the ground in late winter or very early spring, just before new growth begins. This cleans up the plant and makes room for the fresh, vibrant blades to emerge.
