Prairie Dropseed
Sporobolus Heterolepsis
Prairie Dropseed’s fountain of fine textured, emerald-green leaves adds a touch of elegance to any planting. Considered by many to be the most handsome of the prairie grasses, it makes a well-defined and distinctive border when planted 18 to 24 inches apart. Indigenous peoples of the American Plains ground the seed to make a tasty flour. Plant seeds in fall or early spring for best results.
