I'm native to NY state and Tompkins County.
I’m a warm season grass.
I'm a popular grass for native plant gardens, loved for my tolerance for dry soils and my adaptabliltiy to many different soil types although I don't do well with heavy clay soils.
I have a lovely bronze-orange fall color.
I'm a host plants for many of the skipper butterflies.
Many insects like to feed on my leaves
Birds enjoy my seeds
