ABSTRACT:

FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH
This application does not relate to any federally sponsored research.
CROSS REFERENCE
This application does not cross reference with other related applications.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
‘Little Zebra’ originated as a bud sport (mutation) from the species
Miscanthus sinensis
and is similar to the parent species only in the habit (shape) of the plant. The first successful asexual reproduction of ‘Little Zebra’ was carried out by its discoverer, Thomas M. Walsh. This propagation took place under controlled conditions in Nunica, Mich., on Aug. 1, 1995.
The mutated bud was divided (with a section of crown, foliage, and roots from the parent plant) and potted in an organic growing medium. This division survived and was transplanted to an outdoor growing bed where it was grown to mature size.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Once rooted, the variegated sport was planted out in the landscape where it displayed narrow green and yellow striped leaves, dwarf habit (in relation to the parent species), and late summertime bloom time.
