Characteristics of Miscanthus - 'Morning Light'

Miscanthus - 'Morning Light' boasts long, slender leaves with delicate white and green variegation, creating a captivating contrast that adds visual interest and texture to your outdoor space.

This grass typically reaches a height of approximately 4 to 6 feet, making it an excellent choice for adding verticality and structure to your garden.

Planting and Care Tips

Cultivating Miscanthus - 'Morning Light' is relatively straightforward, even for novice gardeners. Here are some essential planting and care tips to ensure your maiden grass thrives:

  • Sunlight Requirements: 'Morning Light' thrives in full sun to partial shade. Choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth.
  • Soil Quality: This grass adapts well to a variety of soil types, but it prefers well-draining soil with a good organic content. Incorporating compost before planting can enhance soil fertility.
  • Watering: While Miscanthus - 'Morning Light' is relatively drought-tolerant, regular watering is essential during the establishment phase. Once established, it requires moderate watering, especially during dry spells.
  • Pruning: In late winter or early spring, prune the grass back to a height of around 6 inches to encourage fresh growth. Remove any dead or damaged foliage throughout the year as needed.
  • Dividing: Every few years, consider dividing the clump to rejuvenate the grass. Early spring or late fall is the ideal time for this task.
