Van Zyverden Ornamental Grass Prairie Dropseed One Potted Plant Green Partial Sun Ornamental/Decorative 1 lb

Prairie Dropseed was one of the major components of the Midwestern prairie, and it is now a popular landscape plant—with good reason. It is perhaps the most ornamental of the native prairie grasses. It grows in a clumping shape with deep green narrow leaves that arch downward. In July, Sporobolus heterolepis sends up numerous stalks with delicate, open panicles shooting up over the clump. In fall, foliage turns a beautiful coppery orange color, which later fades to cream. Prairie Dropseed makes a lush, gorgeous lawn alternative with its mounded habit. It emits an unmistakable aroma some say resembles a cross between cilantro and fresh roasted nuts. Easy, beautiful, and hardy to a wide range of zones, its flowing look is a great choice for mixed plantings, meadow or prairie plantings, and contemporary landscapes. Plant this pernnial in a location with partial sun. Keywords: Van Zyverden, Ornamental Grass Prairie Dropseed, ornamental/decorative, USDA hardiness zones 4-9, green, 1 lb
