Notes
'Morning Light' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Morning Light') is a grass for borders, specimen planting, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It grows 4 to 6 feet tall with an arching habit, and the green leaves turn color in fall. Tan blooms last from summer into winter and attract birds.
Pairs well with Gaura, Munstead lavender, and Smoketree.
