Its upright, blue-green foliage develops rich golden tones later in the season, while its distinctive, plume-like seed heads mature to a rich bronze in fall. The seeds provide food for songbirds and small mammals, and the persistent dried foliage remains attractive through winter while offering cover for wildlife. This hardy grass grows best in full sun and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, from dry and infertile to moderately moist. Like many native grasses, it may become overly tall or flop when grown in rich, highly fertile soil. Yellow Indiangrass adds vertical structure, seasonal color, and ecological value to larger gardens and naturalized landscapes. Its extensive root system also makes it useful for stabilizing soil on slopes and in erosion-prone areas, and it is an important component of native prairie and meadow plantings.\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlooms:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Yellow, 6-8 weeks, June-Aug\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeaves: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGrass-like, attractive fall colors\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 5-7’   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpace:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 2-3’\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Average-Dry\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eExposure:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e  Full sun-Part Sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFauna:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Seed for birds, cover for small animals, Skipper host plant\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeeds: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Bronze seed heads are extremely attractive to both animals and people\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeer Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e High\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZone: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e4-9\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNative Status: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNC Native, common across the state\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance: \u003c\/strong\u003eNC, seed grown\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sorghastrum nutans","offers":[{"title":"2x8\" tube","offer_id":47778742108338,"sku":null,"price":10.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/8968\/1586\/files\/large-2026-07-30T154527.208.jpg?v=1785441240","url":"https:\/\/flowerofcarolina.com\/products\/sorghastrum-nutans","provider":"Flower of Carolina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
