10 Seeds Miscanthus sinensis Zebrinus Variegated Maiden Grass Ornamental Grass

Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus', commonly called zebra grass, is a clump-forming ornamental grass noted for its arching green blades banded with irregular horizontal yellow stripes. It brings striking texture and vertical interest to borders, meadow plantings, and large containers, and its feathery late-season plumes add soft movement to the garden.
An easygoing warm-season grass, it is grown chiefly for its variegated foliage and bronze-tinted autumn color, pairing well with flowering perennials and shrubs. Zebra grass suits mass plantings, specimen accents, and cut or dried arrangements, and its seed heads persist into winter for seasonal structure. Space plants so the arching form can develop freely.
