Description

Porcupine Grass, or Miscanthus sinensis 'Strictus', is a visually captivating ornamental grass that brings a unique flair to home gardens. Known for its striking horizontal yellow stripes on arching green leaves, this grass adds a dynamic element to any outdoor space. Originating from East Asian grasslands, Porcupine Grass is celebrated for its ability to adapt to various climates, making it a versatile addition to your garden. Reaching heights of 5 to 7 feet with a spread of 3 to 5 feet, this grass forms a dense clump that creates privacy screens or serves as a dramatic focal point. Its care is straightforward: plant in full sun, provide well-drained soil, and water moderately. Hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9, it withstands cold winters and hot summers, ensuring year-round beauty with minimal effort. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Porcupine Grass supports local wildlife and helps stabilize soil, contributing to a healthier garden ecosystem. Its low maintenance nature and striking appearance make it an excellent choice for those seeking to enhance their outdoor living space without the hassle of intensive gardening. Historically, Miscanthus sinensis has been a staple in East Asian gardens, symbolizing resilience and beauty, and now you can bring that rich heritage into your own backyard. Whether you're looking to create a serene retreat or a vibrant garden display, Porcupine Grass is an ideal choice for any gardener seeking both style and substance.

    FAQs

    How do i know the size of the plant?

    As is typical in Nursery and Garden Center sales, the plants are listed by the size of the container in which they are grown. While we are in the process of standardizing how our plants are listed here online, many of them still have the notations from the grower's availability list. Here are some common ones that you will see on our website:

    • 17cm = about 6.5" diameter = 1 gallon container
    • 19cm = about 7.5" diameter = 1 gallon container
    • G1 = 1 gallon container
    • G2 = 2 gallon container
    • G3 = 3 gallon container

    The size of the actual plant will vary greatly based on the plant, season, and growing stage. In some cases we can provide some more details from the grower as requested.
