Zebra Grass

that looks nice Tet

Think it should be thinned a bit Yorkshire..may get OH to get the spade out!

you could always half it and re plant so you have two, its very nice,

We divided our Zebra grass in the Spring & pleased to say both halves have thrived. Took a spade, knife and some blue air though .........

Im glad you said that Shirley, I was wondering when..my OH doesnt colour the air, but I make up for both of us!! And thanks for the suggestion of having a pair..just dug up a potentilla shrub from the other side..perfect!!
Isnt it great to mull over stuff and get suggestions..thanks girls..

Tetrarch ... just found a pic on my photos, page 19, of the divided grass ... split it in March and took pic in June. I think the grass revived quite a lot. I agree with the info. gained from practical experience on this site ... I'm learning something new all the time! : o ))

Just been to look..we bought it the same year!! How far do you reckon you dug down for the roots, can you remember?

Well, it seemed like Australia at the time! Seriously, I think they were about 18" deep. We spread an old curtain on the lawn, dug out the plant, then divided it on the cloth as plenty of bugs had over-wintered within it!

I planted a Zebra grass earlier this year as I just love the stripey leaves. Can`t wait for it to spread so I can divide it to plant some else. :o)

One thing I have noticed since the division ... not as many 'tufty feathers' as I call them! Perhaps there'll be more next year.

I havent really looked at them closely (and I really should have after all this time) but Im hoping they are seedheads and I might have a go!
Is it my computer or is this site on a slow down tonight?

We have this grass.....and like you could do with dividing, so pleased now to find out it should be done in the spring......and yes my computer is on a go slow!!

Could be the site then Daisy, if a few others say the same.

So it looks like cut down in Feb and dig up and divide in March!

this grass is lovely and def on my wish list . devided a lot of mine this year so they slow to flower ... hope fully next year.

I like that Silver Grass in the ad on this page too.
