What's really unusual is that this ornamental grass actually does produce what is considered a flower. The plumes have cute little bright yellow pollen sacs that stand out in the dark seed heads. The foliage might go to 3 feet in height while the flowers can soar up to 6 feet. Exceptionally low-maintenance and adaptive, Indian Steel will thrive in hot or cold climates and heavy clay to shallow, dry rocky soils, provided the soil is well drained. It prefers and will take all the sun you can give it. Provides excellent cover year round for birds and mammals and the seeds are a delight to songbirds in fall and winter. Deer won't touch it.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA very versatile grass, Indian Steel Blue Prairie Grass is great for containers or as an accent, in groupings or natural hedge in the landscape.

They don't like an organically rich soil so there's no need to add compost or humus to the native soil when planting. They grow best in full to mostly sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Maintenance is minimal.

As the flowers turn to golden seedheads, the flower stems turn vibrant yellow. The foliage also turns to vibrant golden yellow to deep gold in fall. What's unusual is that this ornamental grass actually does produce what is considered a flower. The plumes have cute little bright yellow pollen sacs that stand out against the darker seed heads. The foliage might be 5 to 6 feet tall, while the flowers can soar up to 8 feet. Exceptionally low-maintenance and adaptive, Golden Sunset thrives in hot or cold climates in USDA Zones 3a-9b, and heavy clay to shallow, dry rocky soils, provided the soil is well drained. It prefers and will take all the sun you can give it. It provides excellent cover year-round for birds and mammals, and the seeds delight songbirds in fall and winter. Deer won't touch it.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing 6 to 8 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, the Golden Sunset Yellow Prairie Grass is ideal for a vertical accent in small garden spaces.

It doesn't like organically rich soil, so there's no need to add compost or humus to the native soil when planting. It grows best in full to mostly sun.

What's really unusual is that this ornamental grass actually does produce what is considered a flower. The plumes have cute little bright yellow pollen sacs that stand out in the dark seed heads. The foliage might go to 3 feet in height while the flowers can soar up to 6 feet. Exceptionally low-maintenance and adaptive, Indian Steel will thrive in hot or cold climates and heavy clay to shallow, dry rocky soils, provided the soil is well drained. It prefers and will take all the sun you can give it. Provides excellent cover year round for birds and mammals and the seeds are a delight to songbirds in fall and winter. Deer won't touch it.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA very versatile grass, Indian Steel Blue Prairie Grass is great for containers or as an accent, in groupings or natural hedge in the landscape.

They don't like an organically rich soil so there's no need to add compost or humus to the native soil when planting. They grow best in full to mostly sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Maintenance is minimal. Cut clumps back to the ground in late winter before new growth begins to emerge.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelpful Articles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant as you would Switch Grass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eClick on a link below to find helpful advice from our experts on how to plant, fertilize, prune and water Switch Grasses.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Plant And Care For Switch Grass Plants\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Measure for Total Square Feet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow Many Plants to Fill a Planting Area\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eContact Us!\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48146538954906,"sku":"D2LSC 381624067","price":95.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/sorghastrum-nutans-indian-steel-blue-prairie-grass-4_d2e39699-5067-4282-8f95-d385eebb69a9.jpg?v=1779955242"}],"url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/collections\/indian-grass.oembed","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
