Thanks Usha di for the possible genera :)

I too thought of fountain grass ... but on internet came across so many of Pennisetum spp. and their cultivars, I thought is better to label it simply as "ornamental grass" !!

In such cases, perhaps recognizing works better than identifying.

Regards.

i had run into a lot of ornamental grasses in southern california over the decades

but this year it was  everywhere

because of increasing use of xeriscaping plants for mass and color in roadsides and in avenue center dividers

and now the grasses are sprouting where they were never planted

they look very nice in slight breeze
