Zebra Grass
Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus'
Zebra Grass has a party trick no other grass can match — horizontal gold bands across each blade, creating a striking striped pattern. It's a conversation starter, a focal point, and a privacy screen all in one. The copper-bronze plumes in fall add another layer of beauty. One of the most distinctive ornamental grasses.
Care Guide
Plant in full sun for best banding. Cut back to 6 inches in late winter. Divide every 4-5 years. Drought tolerant once established. The horizontal bands develop more strongly in warmer weather — spring growth may look all green at first.
