10 Porcupine Grass Plants – Fully Rooted Live Clumps – Ornamental Grass
Create a striking landscape display with ten live Porcupine Grass plants (Miscanthus sinensis 'Strictus'). This distinctive ornamental grass features upright, columnar clumps with horizontal golden-yellow bands across its green foliage.
Similar in color to Zebra Grass, Porcupine Grass tends to maintain a more vertical growth habit rather than arching and flopping. Its tall, narrow form makes it a great choice for narrow planting areas, landscape borders, and large planters.
