Indian grass is a warm-season grass that is native to Canada and the northern United States. “Warm-season grass” means that the plant starts growing when temperatures are somewhat higher. The benefit is a fresh-looking grass well into autumn! With sufficient moisture, the plants can grow up to two meters tall and are a valued grass for the background of your border or as a screen / privacy hedge.
The beautiful, plume-shaped seed heads are highly decorative. In autumn, the top of the plant turns a bright yellow together with the plumes! In a natural environment, this grass provides welcome shelter and healthy food for wildlife.
