Miscanthus sinensis ‘Zebrinus’ is an unusual looking grass, named for its bright green foliage decorated by horizontal cream bands. Although its foliage is its main attraction, it may also bear silky, slender flowers in summer, which last well into winter.
Grow Miscanthus sinensis ‘Zebrinus’ as a specimen plant at the back of a floral border to contrast with brightly colored flowers, in well-drained soil in full sun. Cut back to the ground in late-winter to early spring, before the new foliage appears.
