Planter box plant | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

I am wondering what plant this is growing in this planter box. It looks like an ornamental grass of some sort.

Agree with Metrosideros. Check out the African feather grass (Pennisetum macrourum). Some of its cultivars are ‘Short stuff’, and ‘White Lancer’. Best wishes! https://www.google.com/search?q=Pennisetum+macrourum+%27+white+lancer%27%27&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjxouaYmsHSAhVH02MKHalfBCAQ7AkIKw&biw=1879&bih=909
