Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus'

dsteere
15 years ago

I have 12 Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus' that where planted last year.

Noticed one last year that had strips but strips dissappeared during the growing season.

Cut all down this spring to around 1" from ground.

Now this year all 12 have no stripes. The grass is around 18" long at this point.

What do you think is wrong? Any ideas?
