Description
Please allow 3 business days for all seed orders.
Panicum clandestinum, known as Deer-tongue Grass, is a warm-season perennial grass native to eastern North America. It grows up to 3 feet tall and is characterized by its broad, tongue-shaped leaves that give the plant its common name. This grass thrives in a wide range of soils, from sandy to clay, and can tolerate both dry and wet conditions, making it a versatile species for restoration and conservation projects.
Deer-tongue Grass is particularly valued for its ability to establish in poor or disturbed soils, providing quick ground cover and erosion control. Its tolerance to shade and moisture variability makes it a reliable option for reforestation, riparian buffers, and roadside plantings. The plant also provides habitat for pollinators and serves as a food source for grazing wildlife. Its adaptability and durability make it an essential tool for ecological restoration.
