Miscanthus sinensis 'Little Zebra'
Choose Little Zebra if you want a compact Miscanthus with striped foliage and winter seed heads; the tradeoff is weaker screening and no Massachusetts delivery.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The yellow banding gives it more presence than a plain green grass without overpowering a small bed. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a steady pace, but it is not the fastest grass for instant mass. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on one hard cutback before new growth and give it room so the clump does not crowd neighbors. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer do not browse Miscanthus — the coarse, silica-edged blades are not worth eating. They will bed down in a mature clump from time to time, which flattens it until the spring cutback. |
| Small Space Fit | A- | Its dwarf habit makes it easier to place near walks, patios, and smaller foundation beds than larger Miscanthus. |
| Screening Value | C | It adds texture and seasonal cover, but it is too compact for serious privacy work. |
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend this for homeowners who want Miscanthus texture without committing space to a full-size grass. Do not use it as a hedge substitute.
| Mature Height | 3.5 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 2.5 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 5a-9b |
| Spacing | 2.5 ft |
| Sun | Full Sun to Part Shade |
| Moisture | average to moist |
| Growth Habit | Upright, compact clump |
No, Miscanthus grasses are not available for Massachusetts delivery.
Yes, cut back the old stems before new spring growth starts.
Not well; use it for texture, not privacy.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
