$14.99
Sorghastrum nutans is a native perennial warm season grass with upright, blue-green foliage that turns orange-yellow in fall. Light brown flower panicles appear on 5' stems in late summer that turn to chestnut brown in the fall and then gray in winter. Indian grass imparts a special beauty and drama to the landscape in autumn. Plant with Little Bluestem, goldenrods and asters for a fabulous fall combination. Indian grass is a wonderful drought resistant meadow grass and a desirable native component in most eastern North American grasslands. Attractive to both wildlife and pollinators.
