2 Porcupine Grass Plants – Fully Rooted Live Clumps – Ornamental Grass

Add bold vertical texture and golden color to your landscape with two live Porcupine Grass plants (Miscanthus sinensis 'Strictus'). This striking ornamental grass features upright, columnar growth and distinctive horizontal golden-yellow bands across its foliage.

Porcupine Grass is similar in appearance to Zebra Grass, but it generally maintains a more upright shape rather than arching and flopping. Its tall, narrow growth makes it a beautiful choice for borders, narrow planting areas, and large containers.
