I thought this was the zebra grass because  it has stripes but apparently  that's the one behind with spots🙄 silly me.
Can anyone  identify  the striped one? In a normal  year it would grow quite tall in a bambooey sort of way

    Thanks @GardenerSuze. It's not particularly happy where it is so it hasn't let rip with its thuggish tendencies. I'll keep it unhappy😊

    @B3 It looks really lovely in the spring and lots of people comment on it. I have dug it out by the wheelbarrow full so not so keen!

    Less than a foot in diameter at base and it's been in a few years. Definitely not happy😊
    It might look good beside the pond I'm about to dig out next to it.
