Grown as a specimen plant, or mingled with other perennials, Miscanthus sinensis Morning Light gives year-round interest, and introduces movement into your garden. An upright, flexible clump is formed by narrow, white striped, green foliage which arches gracefully at the top. Hence the common name, as Miscanthus sinensis means 'Little Fountain'. In late summer and autumn, strong stems hold airy plumes of tassel-like, silvery-red flowers. Excellent cut for both fresh and dried flower arrangements within your home. Remaining attractive all year round, the magnificent foliage turns shades of copper in autumn. Staying attractive in winter, the foliage becomes straw coloured, giving protection to local wildlife. New shoots will appear in spring. Such an amazing plant, it is no wonder that Miscanthus sinensis 'Morning Light' has been given the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society for outstanding performance in the garden. Happy in coastal areas and both deer and rabbit resistant, Morning Light grows to 100-150cm in height, spreading to 100cm, preferring to be grown in moist, well-drained soil in sun. A fully hardy perennial ornamental grass.
