Porcupine Grass is an herbaceous perennial grass with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition.
This plant will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Porcupine Grass is recommended for the following landscape applications;

Maiden Flame Grass brings sweeping, architectural presence to the sunny garden, its graceful arching clumps of narrow blades catching every breeze with a soft, rustling shimmer. Growing three to five feet tall, it becomes a bold focal point or a sweeping screen on a sunny slope, lending movement and rhythm to the landscape from midsummer onward. Pale feathery plumes emerge in late summer and persist beautifully into winter, when the seed-laden stems become a welcome resource for songbirds foraging through the cold months. It establishes readily in full sun with average moisture and needs very little attention beyond a single cutback in late winter to make room for fresh growth. Deer and rabbits reliably pass it by, and its tolerance for a range of soil conditions—including sites near black walnut trees—makes it broadly adaptable in the Midwest landscape. Plant it in generous masses where the plumes can catch the low light of a September afternoon.
