Dwarf Zebra Grass 'Little Zebra' 3 Gallon

Miscanthus sinensis

One of the most popular ornamental grass families, Japanese Silver Grass, or Maiden Grass, is identified by its whisk-like inflorescence produced late summer to late fall. Clumps form dense habits that make for an excellent garden specimen, hedge, and for cut or dried flower arrangements. 'Little Zebra' is a shorter, more mounded, compact variety of Zebra grass featuring arching green leaves with gold bands and reddish-purple plumes that turn tan as the season progresses. Pairs well with Juniper, Gaillardia, Salvia, Coreopsis, Sedum, and Shasta Daisy. Plant in well-drained, average to poor soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week the first year. Use slow release fertilizer in spring or at planting. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. In general, cut ornamental grasses down as low as possible in late winter. Divide in spring as needed.
