Identify this ornamental grass

Can anyone identify this ornamental grass.  Thriving in zone 8b.  About 4' tall and evergreen.  Very small seadheads.  Maybe tall sedge grass?

A couple possibilities:

Deer Grass, or a native Muhlenbergia,  or maybe Wiregrass/ Pineland Threeawn, Aristida stricta. Tough to tell w/out any flower/seed heads. If Wiregrass, the seedheads will be separated into 3's, kind of like a bird's foot. Seedhead on most Muhlenbergia tend to resemble a wispy looking plume.  Looks like it is properly maintained though.
