Miscanthus Zebra Grass

Miscanthus Zebra Grass  is a beautiful upright clumping ornamental grass.  This type of grass has a arching habit . It is marked by conspicuous horizontal bands of yellow on the foliage.  In summer those bands can have the appearance of red blotches.. Very Pretty!

Tips: Make sure you water in well if you have a dry fall .. This will help it to not die back, and protects it thru the fall and winter months.

Zebra Grass is really a nice fall and winter accent plant.. It is best in my opinion to leave the grass alone till  spring,  this also adds spectacular winter interest.
