Rough Dropseed (Sporobolus Compositus)
Height - 3 feet
Life Cycle - Perennial
Sun Exposure - Full
Soil Moisture - Medium to Dry
Seeds/oz - 32,000
Rough Dropseed is an incredible shorter native prairie species. It carries its seed in its stem instead of on the tips like much of our grass species. It likes drier areas, and creates a great base grass for wild flowers that can feed the pollinators. The seeds are also highly desirable for birds. (We found this out the hard way.) We definitely recommend adding rough dropseed to any of your prairies in mesic to drier soils.
