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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCare: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFertilize in early spring with our \u003cb\u003eSR-18-5-10\u003c\/b\u003e slow release fertilizer for maximum growth and plant health. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrdering;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur processing time usually is 1-3 days after receiving the order.

We share pictures and videos on our site to showcase our products and highlight the quality of our growing process. However, depending on the season you purchase, you can receive a plant that is smaller or larger than what is presented. There's a chance you might see a plant blooming like the one on our site, but it's not guaranteed. We often trim off blooms since they don't travel well. When you buy our plants, think of it as a wonderful investment in your future garden!
