Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans) is a towering, warm-season native grass that brings both elegant structure and vital habitat value to large landscapes and prairie gardens. Reaching up to 6 feet tall, Indiangrass produces upright stems topped with soft, feathery, golden-bronze flower spikes from late summer into fall. Its blue-green foliage turns a glowing gold in autumn, providing multi-season color and movement. A deep root system makes this grass highly drought-tolerant and excellent for erosion control on slopes or in tough soils. As one of the keystone grasses of the tallgrass prairie, Indiangrass supports a wide range of native insects, birds, and wildlife, offering both shelter and food throughout the year. Why Choose Indiangrass? Tall and stately – Adds vertical interest and motion to the garden. Seasonal beauty – Golden plumes and foliage for fall and winter appeal. Ecologically valuable – Deep roots aid erosion control and support wildlife. Plant Indiangrass in full sun and well-drained soil, and enjoy a low-maintenance, high-impact native that honors prairie heritage and brings lasting beauty to your landscape.
