Indian Grass
Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans) is a tall, native North American perennial bunchgrass, known for its striking blue-green summer foliage that turns golden-bronze in fall, topped with showy, plume-like seed heads of golden-brown spikelets, providing crucial wildlife habitat and being a dominant feature of tallgrass prairies. It forms upright clumps, grows 3-7 feet tall, thrives in full sun and various well-drained soils, and features a unique "rifle-sight" ligule where the leaf meets the stem.
