eulalia

Eulalia should be watered regularly during spring and summer; however, they may not require as much water during fall and winter months. During the warm spring and summer months, give the plants a deep watering once a week to saturate the soil and minimize wilting. Regular intense watering will help to form strong root systems. During the cooler months, reduce watering frequency to once every 2 weeks or so. Water until the soil is moist but not soggy. If the soil looks dry or feels dry to the touch, water the plant. Watering too often can drowned the roots and too little can cause the plants to wilt or eventual death.

Eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus') is a perennial grass that does best with at least 6 hours of sun a day. This plant prefers full sun in the morning, but it can tolerate light afternoon shade during the hottest part of the day. In regions with hot summers, providing eulalia with some afternoon shade can extend its flowering period. This species of grass does not perform well in climates that are too shady or with too much shade, especially during the flowering period.

Eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus') should be pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Prune to remove dead foliage from the previous season, as well as any that looks diseased. Cut back clumps by roughly 1-third or to a desired height. Remove any weak or misshapen stems at their base. Eulalia can handle fairly hard pruning; however, refrain from pruning too drastically as this may reduce flowering potential.
