Miscanthus Sinensis 'Little Zebra' ('Little Zebra' Grass)

A grassy shrub that takes its name from the creamy yellow stripes that decorate its long green leaves. Looking strikingly similar to its bigger brother the Miscathus Sinensis Zebrinus, Little Zebra Grass is noteworthy for being more manageable, thanks to its shorter growth height and smaller sideways spread. It flowers every year in late-summer with pale pink feathers. A popular choice for rockeries and borders. Ornamental Grasses are chosen for their decorative qualities and whether used indoors or outdoors, they can bring a striking diversity to your garden. From round shrubs to tall walls of quivering spikes, ornamental grasses bring new shapes and textures that will contrast against the twisted roots of trees and the blooms of traditional plants and flowers. They are also becoming increasingly popular due to their hardiness against the British weather and their ability to hold their colour through autumn and winter.
