Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus'

This miscanthus is really showing it’s zebra stripes now, couple of years old #miscanthus #foliagefriday #miscanthus-sinensis #miscanthussinensis #miscanthussinensiszebrinus

I loved mine until it came after me with a chainsaw. Gave it to a friend LOL

😆 was it sharp then? I know some of them are a bit serrated @emch

Well, the blades of that grass are always a bit sharp but the attack came when I foolishly tried to divide the plant so I could have more of them. Sharper and stronger implements availed me nothing until I was shaking with exhaustion and the plant was still in one piece. And it wrapped a swatch of those handsome blades around the handle of Danny's chainsaw and I could tell by the look in its eye it was planning to do me dirty. I bailed out LOL

😲🤭😆 I hope you warned your friend of its devilish behaviour! @emch

@richard.spicer.7906 he planted it a safe distance from his place
