Freshly dug Sporobolus heterolepsis. A native prairie grass which forms handsome, arching clumps. The fine textured, green leaves are about 1/16" wide and produce a flowing mound. It turns golden hues in the fall and in August will produce long, refined, airy panicles. This grass is extremely drought tolerant. The fragrance of the plume has been compared to sort of like burnt buttered popcorn. It requires at least four years to attain significant size. This long-lived, trouble-free plant just keeps getting bigger for decades without any center dieback or need for renewal.
