Notes
'Little Zebra' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Little Zebra') is a grass for borders, specimens, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The arching clumps reach 36 to 48 inches tall and carry wine purple blooms that fade to tan. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It tolerates drought and salt, and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Joe-pyeweed, Stargazer lily, and Ornamental onion.
