Sorghastrum nutans- Yellow Indian Grass

SKU GRSNC1 Category

Yellow Indian grass is a tall, bunching sod-former grows 3-8 ft. in height, with broad blue-green blades and a large, plume-like, soft, golden-brown seed head.

This showy perennial’s fall color is deep orange to purple. This is a beautiful grass with a somewhat metallic golden sheen to its flowering parts.

It is an important associate in the tallgrass prairies and is relished by livestock. It appears to be favored by occasional flooding and repeated burning and sometimes forms nearly pure stands in the lowlands. Warm-season grass with rich gold-and-purple sprays of flowers and seeds in the fall.
