The graceful style of Variegated Maiden Grass has made it one of the most popular in the Miscanthus genus. It has fine-textured, slender foliage with defined white variegation running along the leaf margin. It grows in a neat, upright, strongly arching form. This shape, in combination with its narrow foliage, creates powerful design opportunities whether used as part of a ‘white garden,’ in a mass planting or as a stunning solo act. In September, tan plumes appear. Unlike others in this genus, Miscanthus sinensis ‘Morning Light’ can tolerate light shade and maintain its form, although full sun is ideal.
Best in full sun, Plant 4 to 5' apart
