SHIPS IN THE FALL
Step into a world of unique elegance with Zebra Grass, an ornamental marvel that brings a touch of the exotic to any garden. Contrary to what its name might suggest, Zebra Grass is a far cry from the African savannah, with its origins tracing back to the lush landscapes of East Asia. This striking grass is characterized by its distinctive striped green leaves, forming tall, arching tufts that create a visual feast for the eyes. The foliage of Zebra Grass is a living canvas, changing hues with the seasons, adding dynamic interest to your garden throughout the year. In late summer, it graces the landscape with tiny white flowers, though it’s primarily celebrated for its striking foliage and feathery plumes, offering a unique spectacle that’s rarely found in ornamental grasses.
Zebra Grass is not just a wonder to behold; it’s also a testament to versatility and resilience. Young plants flourish in soil temperatures between 70 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, thriving under the nurturing warmth of the sun. As they mature, Zebra Grass shows remarkable adaptability, comfortably growing in USDA hardiness zones 4 through 9. This resilience makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of climates and garden settings. Whether you’re looking to add a statement piece to your landscape or create a lush, textured backdrop in your garden, Zebra Grass is an extraordinary choice, offering both beauty and robustness in one striking package.
