Morning Light Miscanthus
Morning Light Miscanthus (Miscanthus sinensis 'Morning Light') is a very beautiful and fresh ornamental grass, with slender leaves marked by zebra-like stripes that are unique and eye-catching. It can be used as a natural hedge, and it blooms in autumn, becoming a distinctive autumn garden delight.
Morning Light Miscanthus is highly adaptable to its environment, extremely cold-tolerant and shade-tolerant, able to survive at minus 30 degrees, and it is not picky about soil, tolerating poor and infertile conditions.
Fiber Optic Grass
Fiber Optic Grass (Isolepis cernua) has a unique appearance, with slender leaves set with small flowers, looking like optical fibers. As the branches grow, they gradually droop, and from a distance they look like strings of small lights, very beautiful.
Fiber Optic Grass prefers partial shade and adapts to moist growing conditions. It can be planted in the ground or in pots, and a pot placed at home can add a lot of brilliance to a room. Its unique beauty is enough to outshine many run-of-the-mill flowers.
Blue Fescue
Blue Fescue (Festuca glauca) is a clump-forming, evergreen, cool-season ornamental grass with soft needle-like leaves that are blue in spring and autumn, and it blooms around May.
Blue Fescue is highly cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant, able to survive even at a cold minus 35 degrees. It has no special soil requirements. When grown in a pot, just keep the pot slightly moist; there is no need to water it a lot.
Liriope
Liriope (Ophiopogon japonicus) has leaves that stay green all year round, with upright flower stems and a pleasant fresh fragrance. It also produces strings of white or purple flowers that are very charming, making it a fine foliage plant for pots.
