Sporabolis wrightii reaches 6-7 ft. in height and 3 ft in diameter.  This grass can easily be a native substitution for the popular Pampas Grass (Cortaderia sp. which is native to South America).   With its spectacular flowering spikes, Sporobolus wrightii can serve as a specimen plant to enjoy or may be planted in a row to create a living fence or windbreak.  However, keep in mind that this fence must be cut down each spring to make way for the the next year's growth.  Sporobolis wrightii is adaptable to a wide range of soils, prefers full sun and is very drought tolerant.
