MISCANTHUS ZEBRINUS

Latin Name: Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus'

Description: With its distinct horizontal stripes, this Zebra grass is easily recognizable and puts on quite the show. Leaves form graceful arches on upright stems, and their bands of yellow and green turn tan and red in the fall. Feathery panicles emerge copper-coloured and turn silver/white. New growth can be expected with warm temperatures early-to-mid Summer.

Potentially Invasive: Miscanthus cultivars are reputably sterile, but two cultivars can occasionally cross-pollinate and produce viable seeds. Recommended to plant only one cultivar.
