Miscanthus sinensis 'Morning Light'
Miscanthus sinensis 'Morning Light' is a striking ornamental grass prized for its delicate and elegant appearance. This cultivar features narrow leaves with creamy white margins that create a luminous effect, especially when backlit by the sun. The foliage forms dense clumps that typically reach a height of 4 to 5 feet, adding vertical interest to garden landscapes. In late summer to early fall, 'Morning Light' produces feathery pinkish-tinged flower plumes that rise above the foliage, adding a soft, airy texture to the garden. This grass is drought-tolerant and thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. 'Morning Light' is ideal for mixed borders, mass plantings, or as a focal point, providing year-round beauty with its graceful form and subtle variegation.
