Sorghastrum nutans (Indian Grass)

Sorghastrum nutans, commonly known as Indian Grass, is a native warm-season perennial grass that is highly valued for its ornamental qualities. It features upright clumps of slender blue-green leaves that turn golden yellow in the fall. In late summer, the grass produces attractive plumy seedheads that persist into the winter, providing interest and food for wildlife. Indian Grass is a low-maintenance plant that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.
