MISCANTHUS
Miscanthus sinensis ‘Morning Light’
VARIEGATED MAIDEN GRASS
One of the most popular in its genus with finetextured,
slender foliage. Defined white variegation
runs along the leaf margin. Grows in a neat,
upright, arching form. Creates powerful design
prospects in “white gardens,” mass plantings,
or specimens. Plumes appear early fall. Can tolerate
light shade and maintain its form, although
full sun is ideal.
Warm season, green-white variegated, 4’, 6’ with
blooms, sun, dry-average, flowers early fall, Zones
5-9, Origin: Asia
Miscanthus sinensis ‘Morning Light’
Miscanthus sinensis ‘Strictus’
PORCUPINE GRASS
An upright and colorful grass known for horizontal
yellow bands on its foliage. In fall, reddish,
fan-shaped seed heads extend about 1’
above the foliage. Foliage and flowers are used
in fresh and dried flower arrangements. Markings
are similar to M. sinensis ‘Zebrinus’, but
’Strictus’ has an erect habit. A unique specimen,
screen, or border.
