I'm native to New York state and Tompkins County, NY.
I’m a warm season grass.
My seeds attract birds and I provide shelter for wildlife.
I’m a host plant for the Delaware Skipper butterfly found in our area.
I like to grow in clumps.
I make lovely fall displays as my seed heads dry.
I’m nice cut for indoor arrangements.
I can spread, so I might not be suitable for small gardens, but do great in meadow gardens.
