Description
Northern Sea Oats looks best planted in mass and makes a stunning, tall ground cover beneath tall trees, including black walnuts. It provides habitat for the Northern Pearly Eye butterfly, skippers, and moths. Native to a variety of habitats from Pennsylvania to Florida, and as far as west as central Texas, Northern Sea Oats grows in many conditions, including dry woodlands, coastal dunes, and along stream banks. It is quite versatile in the garden – it performs best in moist, well-drained soil, but can also tolerate poor soil and dry conditions. Plant in rain gardens, prairie-style plantings, perennial borders, and woodland gardens alongside other shade-tolerant plants like Joe Pye Weed and Bee Balm. Plants are deer resistant. Northern Sea Oats readily reseeds in the garden, providing excellent erosion control. Unwanted seedlings are easy to remove, or you can manage seeding by removing the mature seed heads once they have turned brown, but before they release the seeds. Plants perform best when the foliage is left standing over the winter to protect the crowns from cold. Cut back to the ground in early spring.
Planting & Care
Shipping
No shipping data
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. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
