Andropogon glomeratus (Bushy Beardgrass) Seed, NJ Ecotype
Description
Andropogon glomeratus, or Bushy Beardgrass, is a clump-forming perennial grass native to wetlands and moist areas across North America. It is recognized by its dense, tufted seed heads, which turn silvery-white in fall and add texture to naturalistic landscapes. The grass grows to about 3-5 feet in height, making it suitable for meadow plantings and wetland borders.
This species thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates wet soils, making it an excellent choice for rain gardens, bioswales, and riparian zones. Bushy Beardgrass supports pollinators and provides cover for small animals, contributing to wetland biodiversity. Its ornamental qualities make it a favorite for ecological and aesthetic purposes alike.
