Comments:
The flat, drooping seed heads hang in clusters on thin pedicels from arching stems. A native plant well suited for the naturalized garden. A colony-forming grass. Tolerates shade well. Blooms in August with an open, drooping one-sided panicle of seeds up to eight inches long. Excellent for cutting. For ideal situations, provide a rich, fertile soil with a generous amount of organic matter. However, it will grow in drier sandy, infertile soils also.
