Description:

3’ x 18” wide, (seed propagated). This exceptional native bunch grass is little known but quickly becoming a favorite of those who grow it. The seed heads, which mature in late summer and hold through winter, catch the fall and winter sunlight from most any angle and seem to glow from within. This grass also has a nice reddish fall color. Silver Beardgrass grows in any soil, including clay. Zones 4-9.
