Prairie Dropseed (Sporobolus heterolepis) is a refined, clump-forming native grass prized for its fine texture, graceful form, and multi-season appeal. This 32-plant pack is ideal for adding structure and movement to prairie gardens, borders, and low-maintenance landscapes—all while supporting birds and beneficial wildlife.

Growing in dense, fountain-like mounds up to 3 feet tall, Prairie Dropseed sends up delicate, airy flower panicles in late summer, releasing a sweet, spicy scent often likened to coriander or buttered popcorn. As fall arrives, the slender green blades shift to brilliant golden hues with touches of orange and red, while the seeds attract songbirds and small mammals.

Drought-tolerant and low maintenance, Prairie Dropseed performs best in full sun and well-drained soils, but adapts well to a range of conditions. It’s a top choice for sustainable plantings, offering year-round beauty with minimal care.
