We have the following native grasses in 1 gallon pots. For smaller plants, see our listing under "Native Prairie Grasses - 4-inch pots". Summertime is the RIGHT TIME to plant our warm-season native grasses in Central Ohio!
SIDE-OATS GRAMA GRASS (Bouteloua curtipendula). "Side-oats Grama is a rarity among native grasses in the way that it sports its tiny attractive flowers during the summer bloom time. Bracts hang uniformly from one side of the stem while brilliant red-purple anthers dangle below and delicate white stigmas protrude above. When the seed heads dry, they have a distinctly oat-like appearance. Its current range is throughout North America and south to Argentina, and it is cited as a food source or larval host for at least five types of skipper butterflies." To 24". (Plant description via Praire Moon Nursery, our seed source.)
SWITCH GRASS (Panicum virgatum). 48”H. By far, the most elegant and well-behaved prairie grass swaying in the wind at CGS. A true four-season plant, we leave switch grass standing in the winter landscape. Provides cover and forage for pollinators, birds, and mammals. Blooms July - Sept.
