'Morning Light' Miscanthus Grass is a versatile ornamental grass loved by birds. This elegant grass has fine arching white-and-green variegated leaves, giving the whole plant a silvery appearance. Wheat-colored flowers appear in late summer to fall, and dry to a creamy white, adding great drama to the fall landscape. This grass is deer resistant and will attract birds to the garden. (Miscanthus sinensis)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
48-72"
tall x 24-48" wide. Introduced from Japan in 1976, 'Morning Light' Miscanthus
Grass is now considered the best of the Miscanthus group, and a stunning
specimen plant for garden or meadow. The clump-forming habit makes Miscanthus
Grass an excellent choice for formal, structured plantings and natural looking
landscapes as well. Foliage turns various shades of gold or bronze in autumn
and holds up well throughout the winter; erect flowers shine in the summer sun,
then turn soft and fluffy in winter, and persist beautifully in dried
arrangements. Plant in a sunny position in the landscape. Let foliage stand for
winter habitat and visual interest and cut back to 2-3 inches above ground in
early spring before new growth begins.
