Sorghastrum nutans - Indian Grass

Indian Grass (Sorghastrum nutans) is a magnificent clumping grass that reaches impressive heights of up to 6 feet. With its origins in dry uplands and upland to coastal salt marshes, it is perfectly adapted to withstand diverse conditions. Its striking reddish tones persist through the seasons, creating a beautiful contrast against winter's snow-covered landscape.

The graceful, arching plumes of Indian Grass provide texture and movement, harmoniously complementing other native grasses like Big Bluestem and Switchgrass. Ideal for adding depth and interest to meadows and naturalized areas, this resilient grass offers both visual splendor and ecological value for pollinators and birds throughout the year.
