Sorghastrum nutans ‘Indian Steel’

A colourful selection of a grass native throughout the tall grass prairies of central North America. Forms a non-invasive clump of steely blue-green leaves, with long and narrow tan-coloured spikes appearing in late summer and lasting into the winter. Very drought tolerant once established, and tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions. Flowers are good for fresh or dried cutting. Winter interest is good, at least into the New Year. Cut the dead foliage back to the ground in late winter or early spring. Clumps may be easily divided in spring. Self sown seedlings may appear.
