Zebra grass?

15 years ago

I just purchased a Zebra Grass to plant here in Pennsylvania (Zone 6) and now I am not sure if I should plant it because I read online it is a considered a warm grass and should be planted in the spring. I didn't know this so I was planning on planting it now but if I do will I lose it? It stays warm here into the end of September.

I think it would do well to plant it now. Remember to loosen the roots and keep the plant well watered during hot spells. I've planted warm season grasses as late as October and they have been fine. Maybe my winters aren't as harsh as yours.
