Zebra grass has lost its stripes!

Hope someone might shed some light on this one :)

Last year I bought a zebra grass (miscanthus something or the other), planted it in a really big pot and it did extremely well - I loved the horizontal stripes.

Anyway, I cut it back late-ish winter as instructed and it has started growing really well again but....the stripes have gone! It is just plain acidy green, attractive but not different like it should be.

Can anyone tell me why this would be? And can I do something to ensure that subsequent years growth will be stripey again?

Thanks very much :)
