HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late spring, when the soil has well warmed; this plant does not easily germinate in cool soil. Press the seed into the surface of the soil, compacting the soil very firmly. Keep the soil saturated until germination.
Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. This plant grows well in dry to medium soil, tolerating drought and poor soil well. If grown in richer soil, it may droop. It adapts well to various soil types such as sand, gravel, and clay. It will eventually spread by self-seeding, and may become rather weedy in good growing conditions. Mature plants can be divided. This plant makes an very good choice for erosion control, and also provides forage and cover for birds and other wildlife. Its beauty also makes it popular as an ornamental grass and for prairie restoration.
Seed Saving: At the end of the season, the seeds on the stem will begin to ripen to their mature brown color. Strip the mature seed from the stem and store it in a cool, dry place.

DESCRIPTION

Indian Grass is on par with Big Bluestem in terms of both height and popularity. This warm-season perennial has large feathery seed plumes that turn a lovely rusty color in the fall, and become natural birdfeeders into the winter months.
