Chasmanthium latifolium

 

Common Name:
Northern Sea Oats
Bloom color:
Buff
Height:
3-4'
Bloom:
Mid-Summer
Hardiness:
Zone 5-9
Light:
Full to partial sun
Soil:
Moist, fertile soil

Why you need this plant:        Despite the name, it does not grow by the sea! A clump-forming, warm season grass, this one grows upright in sun, becomes less erect in shade. Prized for the oat-like spikelets held on nodding stems above the foliage.

 
Planting Info:       Frost hardy grass that prefers a sheltered, part-shaded position in moist, fertile soil.  The old foliage of the previous year's growth should be cut off close to the ground each winter.  Propagate from seed or by division of clumps.
