Graziella is a very floriferous maiden grass (eulalia) variety. It produces showy plume-like inflorescences very early in the season, often from late July. They are silvery beige and are held on upright stems of 150-200 cm above thin, rich green, only slightly arching foliage. Name-wise it is often confused with Gracillimus maiden grass which is more arching and flowers much later.

Eulalia does not tend to be invasive here. It is best grown in sunny and warm areas, in almost any well-drained soil with only occasional watering in summer. It hates boggy soil quite surprisingly copes well with heavy clay unless its roots stand in water before they establish. It is recommended to tie up the leaves before winter and cut the clump back in early spring, about 10-20 cm above ground level. This variety is very hardy, it can withstand temperatures down to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
