The signature grass of American prairies and arguably the most beautiful native grass for home gardens. Blue-green summer foliage turns stunning shades of copper, orange, mahogany, and bronze in fall. Fluffy white seedheads catch the winter light like tiny flames. If you plant one native grass, make it this one.
