Adagio Grass Miscanthus sinensis 'Adagio' Nothing says fall like the beautiful plumes of ornamental grasses. The adagio grass is a beautiful specimen, growing three to five feet tall and thriving in full sun. Ornamental grasses are drought tolerant and low maintenance. Other Kerby's favorites include red fountain grass and pink muhly grass. |

Soil: Camellias love
a rich, well-drained acidic soil such as Kerby's Pulverized Pine Soil. The more soil you can turn into the
planting hole and surrounding area, the better your camellias will grow.
Camellias do not like wet soil, so make sure that the area drains
well, even after heavy rains.
