Our tallest bunchgrass. This formidable species can top out at 8 feet, making it a good candidate for privacy screens. It grows a lot quicker than most of our shrubs, so plant it alongside a developing hedge for temporary cover. Bright green gives way to seagreen and gold as the leaves cure in late summer. Tall bunchgrasses are a common landscaping component, so why not pick a native variety?
