Striking Horizontal Banded Foliage with Silvery White Plumes

Porcupine Grass features green leaves with cream-colored horizontal bands that make this ornamental grass stand out in the landscape. Growing 5 to 6 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, this impressive grass creates bold vertical accents. Silvery white plumes rise 4 feet above the foliage in fall, creating a dramatic display that can reach up to 10 feet total height. The unique horizontal banding pattern resembles a porcupine's quills, giving this grass its common name. This larger 7 gallon size provides instant impact and faster establishment in the landscape.
