Gold Breeze Zebra Grass (Miscanthus) – 1 Gallon Pot

Other Names: Gold Breeze Miscanthus, Gold Breeze Maiden Grass, Striped Eulalia Grass

If you like standard zebra grass, you’re gonna love this improved cultivar. ‘Gold Breeze’ is a super-striped zebra grass, banded with bold yellow stripes from the base of the leaf blade to the very tip. The dense blades are much more vertical and sturdier on the plant, though they do arch gracefully at the top. When growing in full sun, we’ve had no problems with this one flopping over. But the foliage isn’t the only outstanding attribute. In late summer or early fall, purplish-red seed heads resembling wands rise just above the foliage, contrasting wonderfully with the brilliant, variegated leaves. In early fall these wands open to attractive fluffy plumes that persist through winter. The plumes are great for cutting and use in dried flower arrangements. At 5 to 6 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, Gold Breeze is a wonderful vertical accent in the landscape and also nice in groupings or as a natural hedge. Sure to be an eye-catching conversation starter!
