Miscanthus sinensis,'Little Zebra', is sitting happily in a new border where its green and chartreuse horizontal stripes add spice and boldness. Taking full sun, this Oriental native is a dwarf mutation and eventually reaches four feet tall. The summer merlot-colored plumage will contrast nicely flanked by my new additions of Ilex crenata, 'Sky Pencil' Japanese holly and a new variety of Heavenly Bamboo, Nandina domestica.spp. called 'Sienna Sunrise'.
Whew...now that was just the first half hour of planting, wait until you hear the rest of my treasure trove.
