Morning Light is an almost silver-leaved variety of eulalia. Its long leaves have white margins but they are so narrow that this colour overtakes the green centre, giving a silvery appearance to the whole clump. In the middle of summer it makes reddish-bronze flowers. It is best grown in sunny and warm areas, in well-drained soil with occasional watering in summer. It is recommended to tie up the leaves before winter or provide dry mulch. Cut back in early spring. Fully hardy.
