Prairie Dropseed Grass
Sporobolus heterolepis
This Texas native is a graceful, fine-textured native grass valued for its soft, fountain-like form and airy flower plumes that appear in late summer. The delicate, fragrant seed heads add movement and elegance to the landscape, while the foliage turns a rich golden-orange in fall. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this drought-tolerant and low-maintenance grass is perfect for borders, meadows, and native plantings. Prairie Dropseed provides year-round beauty, excellent erosion control, and important habitat for pollinators and birds.
