Details

Porcupine Grass has a distinctive, neat upright growth habit with green leaves distinctively marked by a horizontal yellow stripe. The 6- to 8-foot-tall clumps bear pinkish, coppery 8- to 10-inch-long plumes in late summer and fall which can be used for drying or as a dye plant and persist into the winter. Foliage of Miscanthus sinensis 'Strictus' is stiffer than 'Zebrinus' but still blows easily in the wind. This shrub-like grass turns to a rich gold in the fall; the fall color lasts through the winter.
