Striking Banded Foliage with Reddish-Purple Plumes
'Little Zebra' features green and yellow banding on the foliage that becomes more prominent in the heat, creating a striking striped effect throughout the growing season. Late summer brings lovely reddish-purple plumes that are borne reliably every year, even during seasons of cool weather. Growing 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, this compact zebra grass delivers all the drama of its larger cousins in a more manageable size perfect for smaller gardens.
