• Indian Grass is a native of the Tallgrass prairie. The tough, long stalks were used for weaving. Noted for its ability to comeback and thrive after a fire. Drought tolerant and prefers poor soils. Does not do well in rich soil. If left alone, it will reseed itself and will spread. To control spreading, just cut stalks late summer before seeds drop. Forms large clumps about 2' wide and can get 6' tall. Indian grass turns a rich copper color in fall and stands out against winters greys and browns. Perfect choice for erosion control, natural landscaping or wildlife habitat.
