Sorghastrum nutans (Indiangrass) Seed
Description
Sorghastrum nutans, commonly known as Indiangrass, is a native warm-season grass that grows in prairies, meadows, and open woodlands. It features tall, upright stems that can reach heights of 5–8 feet, topped with golden-brown, plume-like seed heads in late summer. The plant’s foliage turns a striking bronze in autumn.
Indiangrass thrives in full sun and a variety of soil types, including clay and sandy soils. It is a keystone species in prairie ecosystems, providing habitat and food for wildlife. Its deep root system makes it valuable for soil stabilization and erosion control.
