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.

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 .

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.
