Andropogon virginicus 1G

(Broomsedge)

Warm-season native bunchgrass forming upright clumps of coarse foliage that turn orange-brown to copper in autumn. The fine flower and seed stalks add vertical texture and movement in meadows and naturalized plantings. Adaptable to dry, poor soils in full sun and valuable for erosion control and wildlife cover in low-maintenance sites.
