Description

Jubata grass is a perennial grass ranging 6 to 10 feet tall. These plants are known for their showy and attractive displays and are often found in yards and gardens. However, they are quite invasive. The South Coast CWMA recommends manual removal of both Jubata grass and the similar-looking pampas grass.
