Description: A rhizomatous grass with stiff wiry blades 1-2 ft high, forming rather open patches that can intersperse among other native plants. Flower spikes to ~ 3" with large seeds eaten by birds.
Natural Habitat: Moist prairies, pinelands, and sand dunes.
Planting and Care: Prefers moist soil, and can tolerate periodic flooding, but also but also OK on drier ground once established.
Pros: Blades are long lived, and can provide support for adjacent tall flower spikes like Blazing Star and SIlver Aster. Seeds eaten by birds. A good plant for restorations, native meadows, and wetter sites. Once established it requires little care.
Cons: Like all rhizomatous grasses, it will spread.
