Miscanthus sinensis 'Morning Light'
(1)
Pot Size: 5.25 Inch Square Pot
'Little Miss' grows in narrow arching clumps of foliage that emerge green in spring and develop carmine and purple tones beginning in May, reaching peak color in October and November. The center of the clump remains a fresh green for a lovely two-tone effect. Reddish flower heads sport buff seed heads from July to October. This tidy-growing smaller miscanthus is excellent for containers, borders, and modern landscape plantings.
