That's ornamental grass. There are tons of different kinds, some that even change color in fall.

It makes a great background plant, or a good screen. Just make sure you read the label so you know how big it will be full size. There's a house around the block from me that has pampas grass that's easily 10-12 feet tall! Chat Icon

This is a pot I did of coleus and ornamental grass years ago, this kind of grass doesn't get that big:

definitely a form of ornamental grass. If you do a google search for ornamental grass you will find tons of different variations (all with the same technical name, but different everyday names)
