This grass is two years old. Can't find the info that came with it. Can anyone tell me what it is, is it strictus type? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks. Here's a link to picture. Hope I did it right. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f51/grspirit/flowersdogs012.jpg

It looks like a Miscanthus sinensis. Can you show us a pic of the foliage, or describe it? That'll help determine which variety it is.

The foliage is green, no stripes, straight upright habit. Plumes in fall which are cream colored. Thanks. I looked at the picture of miscanthus sinesis and it might be that. Thanks. This is what it looks like today if that helps. Thanks for helping me with posting pics.

It's really a guess, but I'm going to say it's either M.s.'Kleine Fontane' or M.s. 'Nippon.' Whichever it is, it looks great in that setting.

My guess is some Miscanthus variety, possibly Yaku jima. It is definitely a Miscanthus.
