Plant Features

The Sporobolus Heterolepis is a native prairie grass with narrow, medium green, fine textured foliage that forms tufted clumps. Beautiful, airy, pinkish-tan, cloud-like flowers bloom in late summer and are held well above the foliage. One of the most striking features of this native beauty is the vibrant orange-red fall color! Easy to grow in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil. Plants also tolerate heavy clay and are drought tolerant.

Good Condition - Slow Grower

GrowJoy packed this plant like every plant they pack: In great condition, very securely. I have this grass planted in the ground at the same time as Red Fountain Grass. The Prairie Dropseed is a cute little grassy plant right now it's not fast growing. But I am sure in time I will grow to love it.
