Zebra grass

I love ornamental grasses, please post a photo when the flower spikes appear !!

I recently visited one of my clients garden and was amazed to see a clump of this grass that was at least 4 feet wide and seven feet tall.

It grows very well. Last year I divided it so I have another clump in the front garden.

Iput some of that in my garden this year

Great photo Chris, the yellow variegation looks like it is glowing ! This is my favorite grass. I don't know if you have it over there yet, but there is also a dwarf variety of zebra grass out now that also looks great .

I havn;t spotted it for sale here, but now I will keep an eye out for it.

There are several dwarfer varietys the best of which in my opinion is Miscanthus sinensis 'Gold Band'

Thanks Bluespruce. I'll look out for it.

Hi Chris, when I say the best I mean for the Gold markings being more prominent than all the other varietys I have seen so far, although the habit seems to be less gracefull.

Glad to see it's grown to 6ft, I bought some recently at about 3ft tall and am hoping it will grow on well.

It's seven feet now and the flowers are not there yet.
