Some of it is not doing well this year - the rocks in the bed, not enough soil, poor soil, etc. We added compost and spagnum moss, so we'll see if that helps.

According to my sources,
Miscanthus sinesis 'Zebrinus
,' commonly knows as Zebra grass, grows in tight clumps that expand via short, underground rhizomes. Fortunately, they retain their round, clump shape and tidy appearance.
I just planted two Zebra grasses in my planter box over the weekend. They do get to be 7-9 feet tall and because of their coloring lend themselves to showing off plant material in their immediate surroundings! I use this particular grass a lot in my designs.
Give it a shot of fertilizer and make sure you cut it back. It likes to be pruned!
