Description
- Clump forming grass species adapted to poor, well drained, dry soils in full sun to a bit of shade. Grass stems can range in a variety of colors from
blue to green to reddish hues. Plant in drifty groups for a stunning naturalized effect. The clumping nature of this species provides habitat for a variety of animals from ground dwelling birds to ground burrowing bees. Keep on a lean diet; excessive organic matter and moisture tend to make them “obese” and sickly looking. This is a warm season species of grass; active growth doesn’t kick in until June and robustly in July-August. Even though this species is wind pollinated, it is a very important larval host plant for many species of skipper butterflies and the showy wood nymph. You can’t have skippers if you don’t have this plant in the neighborhood. - 1 gallon size, currently un-available
