    We need to know your region, but in any case it is difficult without the spikes. The stems are circular, triangular or flat? Do you find nodes? [This will help just to get the family] May 22, 2018 at 8:12
  • Based on the description of the leaves and the photo, some sort of Juncus sp. seems likely. Oct 5, 2021 at 12:51

There is an ornamental grass called miscanthus sinensis ‘strictus’ which is commonly referred to as Chinese silver grass or porcupine grass.

Can you share more details of your plant? Height? Width? Any flowers?
