Porcupine Grass does wonderful for me in zone 5b, I rarely water it and it forms a nice clump without getting out of control. I like to use the stalks in floral arrangements. Stay looking nice a long time.

My miscanthus strictus died back considerably after one winter in my garden on the edge between zones 4 & 5, and died off completely after the second winter. It was planted in a sheletered spot near my septic tank, but it was quite a wet area--which may have been the problem.

Foliage is held quite upright with very attractive yellow banding. Does very well in our clay soil. Once established it rarely requires supplemental watering.
