Miscanthus sinensis
‘Morning Light’
at Digging Dog

Silver Variegated Maiden Grass

Miscanthus

If Pygmalion were a gardener, Miscanthus would come to life as fountains, some of them spouting tall and upright to 10 ft. Graceful and robust, they’re favored for their lush foliage and silky terminal panicles. Striking as a single specimen, Miscanthus is also excellent when massed in the perennial bed or a mixed border. Attractive year-round, with fall colors of yellow, purple, scarlet and burgundy, they fade to a lovely warm ivory in winter.

Miscanthus sinensis ‘Morning Light’

Delicate, vertical stripes of creamy white grace the long, narrow green blades of ‘Morning Light’, creating a splash of fine foliage that would satisfy even without the feathery, pinkish panicles that appear just above. A beauty!

Blooms September–December.

Size: 5' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 5.

“Very nice web site. I am especially pleased to see your large selection of perennial herbs with the extensive narratives. We are building up a garden...after Katrina destroyed our old home.”
