Maiden Grass 'Strictus', Eulalia 'Strictus', Chinese Silver Grass 'Strictus', Japanese Silver Grass 'Strictus', Porcupine Grass
Award-winner Porcupine Grass ‘Strictus’ (Miscanthus sinensis) is a very distinctive ornamental grass with variegated foliage displaying unusual, horizontal, soft yellow rings along the gracefully arching leaves until it turns pale brown in the fall. It is complemented by attractive, pinkish plumes that emerge in early fall and turn silvery as they mature. This variety is similar to Miscanthus ‘Zebrinus’ in leaf markings but more upright in habit and compact.
