Notes
'Zebrinus' eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus') is a grass for borders, containers, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows in an arching form and attracts birds. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Pinkish white blooms appear in summer, and the plant is drought tolerant.
Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, Gaura, and Ornamental onion.
