Miscanthus sinensis Zebrina
Have/had one of these. Behaved quite normally last year, with the
expected horizontal bands of cream variegation. This year, it's plain green: no sign of stripes at all! What happened? I cut down last year's growth in early spring this year, if that's got anything to do with it. -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |

I hope you're right, but I'm not convinced. It's 4 ft. high already, about as tall as it got last year, and not a stripe to be seen! Time will tell. -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |
