5 Porcupine Grass Plants, Miscanthus sinensis Strictus, Golden Striped Ornamental Grass, Upright Zebra Grass Lookalike

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

Add beautiful golden-striped foliage and dramatic vertical structure to your landscape with five live Porcupine Grass plants (Miscanthus sinensis 'Strictus'). This distinctive ornamental grass grows in upright, columnar clumps with horizontal golden-yellow bands across its green leaves.

Similar in color to Zebra Grass, Porcupine Grass generally maintains a more upright growth habit rather than arching and flopping. Its tall, narrow form makes it an excellent choice for narrow planting areas, garden borders, and large planters.
