Ecrane, I grow a lot of pennisetum villosum (tender perennial) and pennisetum alopecuroides (hardy perennial) and I do believe that plant is a cultivar of pennisetum. Please see pic.

It does have a tendency to seed under some circumstances. Sometimes mine sprouts a plant in the middle of the lawn. You can't miss it if you mow - and I have to dig it out. Some years there are lots of them, and some years almost none.

So, yes, it is quite possible that your lovely platys are "gifting" your neighbors' yards.
