Indian grass

Overview

Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans 'Sioux Blue') is a warm season grass native of prairie grasslands of the US. It is a low-maintenance, drought tolerant species that grows into dense, bluish-green clumps of upright stems and foliage, up to 1.5 metres in height. Its panicles bloom in summer months, turning from blue-green to deep yellow and fading to dull brown in autumn. It attracts native wildlife such as birds, butterflies, and various pollinators. This tough grass is an excellent choice for larger scale planting projects, meadows, and naturalized areas.
