Description
This warm season perennial grows up to 2 feet, with 3 to 4 inch silvery plume-like seed heads borne on taller stems. Thrives on rocky limestone slopes as well as heavier soil areas from Nebraska, Colorado and Missouri down to Mexico. Fills in fast on disturbed and abandoned fields, holding and building soil by spreading fibrous roots. Grows where nothing else will!
Available in D-Paks and mixes only.
