It is dark green, no more than 3 inches tall, seems to me to be individual clumps that have spiky leaves coming up from one center and resemble the tops of palm trees. When looking straight down it is as if the viewer is in an airplane looking down on a grove of palm trees or pineapple tree tops. Any ideas?

However, we would like a ground cover that is not poisonous for dogs, is not too invasive, and that has pretty flowers. Many thanks for any suggestions.
