Zebra Grass
Zebra grass is a tall ornamental grass that grows best in warm conditions. It gets its name from the yellow stripes that run horizontally across the wide green leaves.
This grass grows as a fountain shape. The clump has a narrow base with leaves arching outward toward the top of the plant. When the summer weather is warm enough, it produces silvery-white flowers that look like fuzzy, finger-like clusters that extend above the leaves.
