Zebra Grass
Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Ornamental Grass
Plant Family: Poaceae
Plant Description: Clump-forming ornamental grass with horizontal bands along the leaf blades. Long linear leaves grow up to 8 feet tall. Highly ornamental pinkish-white clusters of flowers bloom in late-summer to fall and last throughout the winter. Grows in a wide range of soils. Cut back in late-winter or early-spring before any new growth appears.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Ornamental Grass - Medium
Plant Care: Ornamental Grass - Medium (showy non-turf grasses that go dormant in winter, 3-6' tall): Use hand pruners or hedger to cut and remove 2/3 of the total grass height. Trim edges. For warm season grasses (more common), this is best done in late winter to early spring. For cool season grasses apply the same maintenance practices in the late fall, once the plant is dormant.
