  • I'm a native of New York state and Tompkins County, NY.

     

    I’m a warm season grass.

     

    My seeds attract birds.

     

    I’m a host plant for the pepper and salt skipper butterfly found in our area.

     

    I like to grow in clumps.

     

    I make lovely fall displays as my seed heads dry.

     

    I’m nice cut for indoor arrangements.

     

    I can spread, so I might not be suitable for small gardens, but do great in meadow gardens.
