Description
Meet 'Bandwidth' miscanthus, a compact ornamental grass that stays where you plant it without aggressively self-seeding. It features stiff green blades with intense golden bands for a bold "zebra" look. Showy from spring to winter, it resists rust, deer, and rabbits. Once established, this low-maintenance plant is highly drought and heat-tolerant, making it a perfect fit for smaller landscape spaces.
