Description
Prairie Dropseed Grass provides interest all year long with fine, arching blades arising from dense tufts. The clump-forming habit makes Prairie Dropseed a favored grass of garden designers. The plant also attracts winged admirers, who flock to the seed heads from late summer into winter. Watch for sparrows, juncos, and other songbirds. The blooms are pale pink to brown and have a delightful coriander-like fragrance. Prairie Dropseed is native to dry prairies from Quebec to Saskatchewan and south to Texas. The grass is considered endangered in several eastern states. Plants naturalize readily and tolerate black walnut trees. Provide a site with full sun. Prairie Dropseed prefers dry, well-drained soils but tolerates clay. Plants thrive in hot, dry planting sites. Plant as a groundcover or matrix planting beneath Milkweed and Butterfly Weed, Coneflowers, and Black-Eyed Susan.

As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds.

Going to get more!!
"Addition to my native garden. Used as a border to my peagravel patio. No backyard, so used in front. Plan on ordering at least 3 more."
I would buy this product again
"As of this time, the grasses I bought are doing well. I hope they survive our winter, which is the only reason I did not give a 5 star rating, as that remains to be seen. But as of right now, I am very pleased with the product."
