Showy Ornamental Grass: Porcupine Grass

Ornamental grasses are excellent choices for poolside landscaping: they are easy to care for, not too messy, grow quickly, blend nicely with other plants, and create a striking form, day or night. This particular ornamental grass is Miscanthus sinensis 'Strictus,' Porcupine Grass or sometimes called Zebra Grass. Its horizontal stripes give it an exotic look that goes well with tropical landscaping.
