Zebra Grass
Miscanthus Zebrinus
This is a sensational, clump-forming perennial grass with beautiful, arching green leaves that have attractive and very unusual creamy-yellow horizontal bands. Perfect for using as a specimen plant or growing in groups in a herbaceous border, it produces silky spikes of pale pink, fan-shaped flower panicles. These appear between August and September and are followed by intricate, silvery seed-heads which help to maintain the plants ornamental value over the winter. A fantastic, deciduous variety whose withered stems should be cut back to the ground in late winter.
