Miscanthus 'Little Zebra' is a large ornamental maiden grass. A compact, dwarf version of Zebrinus porcupine grass with the same distinctive horizontal yellow bands on green, upright foliage. Attractive reddish-pink plumes appear in late summer. Thrives in full sun to light shade in average, well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established. Cut back hard in late winter before new growth emerges. An outstanding specimen or backdrop plant for large borders — graceful form, showy plumes, and excellent winter presence make it indispensable.
