  • Description

  • Notes

This warm season native grass is extremely versatile and tolerant of a variety of conditions. It requires virtually no maintenance. It can be used as a mounding lawn substitute. It is dormant in the winter but has a very ornamental bloom through summer. Flower stalks can reach 4' in height. It has an attractive "eyelash" bloom.
