Miscanthus sinensis 'Adagio'
Choose Adagio Maiden Grass if you want a shorter, softer Miscanthus with late-season plumes for an open border; the tradeoff is cleanup—cut it back each spring and give it room so it doesn’t crowd tight plantings.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | Its fine silver foliage and late plumes give strong movement without the bulk of larger maiden grasses. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a useful pace but is not the fastest way to cover bare ground. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on one hard spring cutback and occasional division when the clump gets tired or too wide. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer do not browse Miscanthus — the coarse, silica-edged blades are not worth eating. They will bed down in a mature clump from time to time, which flattens it until the spring cutback. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | It is one of the better Miscanthus picks for tighter beds, though it still needs breathing room. |
| Screening Value | C+ | It can soften views, but it is not the plant to choose for a dense privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Adagio when a customer likes Miscanthus texture but not the size of the larger types. Let winter stems stand if you like, then cut them back before new growth pushes.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
