Indian Grass

Indian Grass is a classic native warm-season prairie grass valued for its strong vertical form, graceful movement, and seasonal color. Blue-green foliage forms upright clumps through early summer, followed by airy, bronze-toned flower panicles in late summer that rise above the foliage and catch the light beautifully. As the season progresses, foliage turns coppery-orange in fall, extending interest well into winter. Deep-rooted and long-lived, this Illinois native thrives in full sun and well-drained soils and is highly adaptable once established. It is an excellent choice for prairies, meadow plantings, erosion control, and naturalized landscapes.
