Zebra Grass
Zebra Grass (Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus') is a stunning ornamental grass that is prized for its striking striped foliage. The leaves are green with horizontal bands of creamy white, giving the plant a zebra-like appearance. In late summer, the grass produces feathery plumes that add to its ornamental value.

Zebra Grass is a vigorous grower, reaching a mature height of 3-5 feet. It is a clump-forming grass, but it can spread slowly by rhizomes. The grass prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established, but it will benefit from regular watering during hot, dry weather.
Zebra Grass is a low-maintenance plant that is relatively easy to care for. It does not require any special pruning or fertilization. However, the grass can be divided every few years to maintain its vigor.
Zebra Grass is a versatile plant that can be used in a variety of landscaping applications. It is a popular choice for borders, mass plantings, and specimen plantings. The grass can also be used in containers.
