Indiangrass (Sorghastrum Nutans)
Height - 5 to 7 feet
Life Cycle - Perennial
Sun Exposure - Full, Partial
Soil Moisture - Medium to Dry
Seeds/oz - 11,000
Indiangrass grows a feather-like seed structure at its top. A field filled with Indiangrass displays a beautiful golden wave as the wind blows through it. It is a very tall grass, standing at 5 to 7 feet tall. It is also a favorite of pheasants, because it keeps its tall structure throughout the winter. On our farm, we find dozens of pheasants scattered throughout our Indiangrass fields every year.
The seeds are also loved by small mammals, and help sustain a healthy food chain and ecosystem.
Indiangrass is an absolute MUST in your prairie reconstruction. While Big Bluestem and Switchgrass can be very aggressive tall grasses, Indiangrass gives all the benefits of the tall grass prairie without as much aggression in the field allowing other species to thrive.
