Default Zebra lost its stripes

I planted a clump of Miscanthus Sinensis Zebrinus (Zebra Grass) last

year
and it seemed to do OK. It was cut back in late winter (as recommended)

and
has now started growing back happily - only trouble is that it doesn't

have
any of its characteristic stripes. I was wondering if anybody might

know
the reason for this? Perhaps the soil may be missing some nutrients?
Many thanks,
Dick


fear not, stripes will develop later in the season

Yep I agree with Paul. I wish I had known about this newsgroup when mine
'did' the same as yours. I thought that it was the variegation reverting so
I cut off all the just green bits *doh* and guess what, no grass for that
year. I complained to the nursery who told me about the stripes coming
later and it's done well in subsequent years :-)
