location claims
light
Zebra grass loves sunny locations. It only forms its typical stripes with sufficient light. You can also store the plant in the shade, but then it looks like a conventional sweet grass and also has a slower growth.
ground conditions
- very nutritious
- wet
- no waterlogging
Attention: With suitable site conditions, zebra grass tends to spread rapidly. To avoid this, it is best to install a root barrier when planting.
