Prairie Dropseed (Sporobolus Heterolepis)
Height - 2 to 3 feet
Life Cycle - Perennial
Sun Exposure - Full, Partial
Soil Moisture - Medium Wet
Seeds/oz - 14,000
Prairie Dropseed is a favorite ornamental grass, but we also love to see it in diverse prairie fields. It has a beautiful bushy look to it. Instead of growing straight up, it grows up then droops down like a middle school bowl-cut. Birds love to hang out in this grass, and the seeds are a bird favorite. It also matches well with wildflowers, because it comes up late and does not get too tall, allowing for the wildflowers a chance to get some sun. We highly recommend this as an ornamental grass and also to be mixed in with your prairie mix.
