A warm-season, native, perennial grass that forms loose clumps and reaches 4-8′, Indian Grass is an excellent plant for stabilizing soils of slopes, buffers, and vegetated swales. This species is a wonderful contrast or border plant for landscapes for a wide range of habitats; it is also suited for many restorations of meadows, prairies, and buffers. Shallow, well-drained rainwater gardens are also great to plant Indian Grass in!
