'Little Zebra' Dwarf Zebra Grass | Miscanthus sinensis 'Little Zebra' is a show-stopping enhanced ornamental grass that adds distinctive texture and year-round appeal to your garden. It grows shorter and more erect than other types. This tiny species, which is hardy in zones 5 through 9, has gorgeous green foliage that is sharply striped with horizontal yellow bands, giving it a zebra-like appearance all during the growth season. For extra landscape appeal, beautiful reddish-pink plumes emerge above the leaves in late summer or early autumn. These plumes mature to a mellow tan and continue into the winter. Although they have a faint earthy perfume, the blossoms are more for show than for powerful fragrance. 'Little Zebra' grows to a moderate height of 3 to 4 feet and spreads 2 to 3 feet wide, making it ideal for container gardening, foundation plantings, and borders. It is perfect for both novice and seasoned gardeners since it is native, resistant to rabbits and deer, low care, and simple to cultivate. This adaptable grass attracts birds and butterflies, blooms for a long period, blends in well with bigger settings, produces gorgeous cut flowers, and adds outstanding winter interest. Large doses of any ornamental grass may cause moderate stomach distress, but they are not hazardous to dogs. It is a low-maintenance pollinator-friendly choice that grows best in full sun and soil that drains well. Plant in the early spring or autumn, mulch around the base to retain moisture and keep weeds at bay, and water often throughout the first growing season to create strong roots. Before new growth appears in late winter or early spring, prune back to a few inches above the ground. Although 'Little Zebra' often thrives without intensive feeding, if you'd like, gently treat in the spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. For a season-long, low-maintenance splash of color and movement, include this striking, colorful grass into your landscape.
Care:
Fertilize in early spring with our SR-18-5-10 slow release fertilizer for maximum growth and plant health.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a compact form of zebra grass with bold horizontal banding on green blades and a more upright habit. Miscanthus sinensis 'Little Zebra' typically stays tidier and shorter than many standard Miscanthus varieties. In late summer to fall, it can produce airy plumes that add seasonal color and winter interest.
Expect a zebra grass height of about 3–4 feet in bloom, with a zebra grass size around 2–3 feet wide. As a little zebra maiden grass, it forms a dense clump rather than running through the garden. Give it enough space so the arching blades and flower plumes can show off.
Choose a full-sun spot with well-draining soil, then plant zebra grass at the same depth it was growing in its container. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish deep roots, then reduce to occasional watering once established. For easy care for zebra grass, cut old stems back to a few inches in late winter or early spring before new growth starts.
