SORGHASTRUM<br />
Sorghastrum nutans<br />
INDIAN GRASS<br />
A major grass <strong>of</strong> the North American prairie and<br />
considered one <strong>of</strong> the most beautiful. Foliage<br />
grows in a mounding, 2’ arching shape. Six-foot<br />
culms emerge late summer topped with feathery<br />
plumes, which hold intricate flower structures.<br />
Its seeds attract songbirds. A wonderful<br />
drought-tolerant grass for prairies, meadows, or<br />
backgrounds.<br />
Warm season, green, 2’, 6’ with blooms, sun, dry,<br />
flowers late summer, Zones 4-9, Origin: North<br />
America<br />

Sorghastrum nutans ‘Indian Steel’<br />
BLUE INDIAN GRASS<br />
Attractive native grass cultivar: steel-blue foliage<br />
with hints <strong>of</strong> light green, 5’ flower spikes<br />
topped with yellow flowers, and beautiful<br />
bronze fall color. Tolerant <strong>of</strong> drought and poor<br />
soil; requires little maintenance. A great choice<br />
for sustainable landscapes, natural areas, and<br />
modern designs. Rich soil and too much fertilizer<br />
cause weak growth.<br />

Warm season, blue-green, 2’-3’, 5’ with blooms,<br />
sun, dry-average, flowers late summer, Zones 4-9,<br />
Origin: North America<br />
