Miscanthus sinensis – Morning Light
This refined Miscanthus features narrow green blades edged in crisp white variegation, giving the foliage a graceful silvery glow in sunlight. It grows in a neat upright clump that arches gently as it matures, forming a medium-sized fountain of slender, fine-textured leaves. In early fall, tiny reddish‑copper flower panicles rise above the foliage, aging to creamy white plumes that persist into winter for seasonal interest. Hardy, low-maintenance, and both drought- and deer-resistant, it thrives in full sun (though tolerates light shade) and lends elegant structure to containers, borders, or mass plantings.
