Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Adagio’ is a compact, clump-forming ornamental grass known for its slender, blue-green leaves and graceful arching habit. Growing 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, it produces delicate, fluffy cream-colored flower spikes in late summer through fall that add seasonal interest and attract pollinators. Adagio thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts well to a variety of soils. Its moderate drought tolerance and low maintenance needs make it ideal for mixed borders, containers, and naturalistic landscapes.
