{"product_id":"indian-grass-sorghastrum-nutans","title":"Indian Grass (Sorghastrum nutans)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIndian Grass is a majestic giant of the tallgrass prairie, a warm-season grass that provides year-round beauty and immense ecological value. Growing three to eight feet tall, it features blue-green blades that turn a stunning golden-bronze in the autumn. In late summer, it produces large, feathery, plume-like seed heads of a rich metallic gold, accented by bright yellow anthers that shimmer in the sun. Native across nearly all of the lower 48 states, it is a cornerstone species of the prairie, providing essential nesting habitat and cover for birds and small mammals. It also serves as a larval host for several butterfly and moth species. Indian Grass is incredibly resilient, thriving in full sun and a variety of soil types, from dry and sandy to moist and heavy. Its deep root system makes it exceptionally drought-tolerant and effective for erosion control. In the landscape, it serves as a magnificent vertical accent, a backdrop for wildflowers, or a key component of a restored prairie meadow, maintaining an upright winter silhouette for architectural interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–8 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full to Partial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil moisture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aug–Sep (Yellow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm-season, Aggressive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native to 44 states, including Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/database.hokseynativeseeds.com\/species\/sorghastrum-nutans\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee the full growing guide and county range map for Indian Grass\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoksey Native Seeds","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":50926649442501,"sku":null,"price":3.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":50926649475269,"sku":null,"price":4.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 lb","offer_id":50926649508037,"sku":null,"price":7.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":50926649540805,"sku":null,"price":15.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":50926649573573,"sku":null,"price":73.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/6567\/1365\/files\/1I8CRHd2fN05rOWY4_sSSHRt39A4c0zaZ.jpg?v=1793123932","url":"https:\/\/hokseynativeseeds.com\/products\/indian-grass-sorghastrum-nutans","provider":"Hoksey Native Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
