I’m a warm season grass.

My seeds attract birds and I provide shelter for wildlife.

I’m a host plant for the Delaware 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.
