The Morning Light Maiden Grass is one of the most beautiful of all the ornamental grasses. Growing to 6 feet when in bloom, its slender leaves are edges in white, giving a shimmering, silvery look to the plant. It makes a graceful fountain shape that is perfect as a lawn specimen or in beds and pots. Use it alone for a modern, minimalist look, or with other shrubs and grasses for a rich effect. Around water or along a pathway – it always looks great, and that continues all through winter too.
Full sun suits the Morning Light Maiden Grass best, but it will tolerate a few hours of shade during the day. Grow it in any well-drained soil, and once established it is drought resistant. Free of pests and diseases, not eaten by deer or rabbits, and resistant to salt spray, this grass needs just one annual trim in spring to look gorgeous all year round.
