This variety of Miscanthus is an ornamental grass that does best in full sun to half sun. It needs medium to low water. It tends to flop in too much shade however. Eulalia expands in its circumference, keeping the crown tight. It needs well-drained soil. The clumps are about 4'-5' wide and about .5" wide. Tiny pink flowers in inflorescences appear in late summer, well above the stalks. The flowers, which resemble tassels, turn to silver later, thus the spider-like appearance and thus the cultivar name.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
