Miscanthus sinensis Zebrinus- Zebra Grass - Plant in 9 cm Pot

The species Miscanthus sinensis is native to mountainous and lowland areas throughout Japan as well as China and Korea. Miscanthus sinensis Zebrinus has been granted the RHS Award of Garden Merit. It is a large and impressive grass with attractive mid green leaves stripped with yellow horizontal bars. Produces beautiful silvery plumes of flower heads in September and October which last well into winter and are good for flower arranging. Forms clumps which can be divided in spring if it becomes too large. This plant can be used in a mixed planting or as a stand alone specimen in the garden or can easily be grown in a pot or other container. Use a good quality compost. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. We recommend Osmocote pro 12-14 month applied in the early spring. One application gives all the nutrients the plant requires for the whole year.
