PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The variegated blades and late plumes give it strong presence without needing flowers nearby. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in at a solid pace once established, though it is not instant structure the first season. |
| Maintenance | B- | It is straightforward to grow, but the old stems need a yearly cutback before new growth starts. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother ornamental grasses; the bladed foliage is not a favorite, though hungry deer may nip tender new growth. |
| Small Space Fit | C | This is not the grass we would steer into tight beds or narrow foundation pockets. |
| Screening Value | B | It can soften views in season, but it should not be treated like a year-round evergreen screen. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically place this where it has room to stand on its own, not squeezed between shrubs or against a walkway.
