{"product_id":"sand-dropseed-sporobolus-cryptandrus","title":"Sand Dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSand Dropseed is a highly resilient, warm-season grass that is a master of survival in sandy or disturbed soils. Growing one to three feet tall, it forms a distinctive vase-like shape with slender stems that often lean gracefully as the seeds mature. The airy, lead-colored flower panicles appear in late summer, often remaining partially enclosed in the leaf sheaths. Native to open, sandy areas across nearly all of North America, it is one of the most drought-hardy native grasses available, thriving in full sun and well-drained conditions. It is a vital species for stabilizing sandy blowouts and reclaiming overgrazed lands. The small, abundant seeds provide a reliable food source for songbirds and small mammals throughout the winter months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–3 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full\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 Jul–Oct\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\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\/sporobolus-cryptandrus\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee the full growing guide and county range map for Sand Dropseed\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoksey Native Seeds","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":50926611562693,"sku":null,"price":3.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":50926611595461,"sku":null,"price":11.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 lb","offer_id":50926611628229,"sku":null,"price":21.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":50926611660997,"sku":null,"price":42.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/6567\/1365\/files\/SandDropseed__80451.jpg?v=1793659473","url":"https:\/\/hokseynativeseeds.com\/products\/sand-dropseed-sporobolus-cryptandrus","provider":"Hoksey Native Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
