Miscanthus sinensis 'Morning Light' is similar to M. sinensis 'Gracillimus', but its white leaf margins give it a silvery affect. Coppery-colored flowers in early autumn add fall interest. The flowers and foliage fade to a beautiful tan color in winter and add superb winter elements to the garden.
M. 'Morning Light' came into cultivation almost a century ago in Japan. In 1976, Sylvester March and John Creech introduced this cultivar into our country. This maiden grass does not flop, nor does it self sow, a great plus for a grass.
