watering

Eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Morning Light') should be watered when the soil feels dry to the touch, which is usually about once a week during the growing season. In general, it's best to water deeply — and when it comes to Eulalia, that means soaking the soil until it is moist at least 4-6 inches down. Doing this ensures that the entire root system is receiving equal amounts of moisture, and it also helps the soil to absorb more of the water. During hotter months or when the plant is actively growing, Eulalia may need more frequent watering — so it's better to stick to a regular schedule to ensure that the plant receives the proper amount of moisture. During the winter, when the plant is in a dormant phase, you can reduce watering to once a month.

sunlight

The Eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Morning Light') plant species requires 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. It does best when planted in full sun, as it helps the plant to reach its full size and produce optimal growth and seed heads. A location that receives direct sunlight for at least 4 to 5 hours per day is suitable for this plant. In the northern part of the United States, Eulalia should be planted on the south or west side of the garden, where it can receive full sun during most of the day. In the southern part of the United States, it should be planted on the east or south side of the garden for full sun. If the full sun is not available, Eulalia can tolerate partial sunlight.

pruning

Eulalia should be pruned twice a year, once in early spring and once in late summer. Early spring pruning (March-April) should involve removing dead stems and any damaged foliage. Late summer pruning (August-September) should involve cutting the plant back to a height of around 3ft. This will encourage healthy growth and encourage fuller foliage. Make sure to remove any stems that have not fully matured, as these can be easily damaged by cold temperatures. Lastly, trim the edges of the foliage to keep it looking tidy.
