Considered by many ornamental grass enthusiasts to be the most handsome of the prairie grasses, Prairie Dropseed forms an 18 inch tall and wide arching foliage mound from which rise panicles of tiny pink-tinted cream flowers that float like a cloud on thin stems up to 36 inches high. The bloom occurs in late summer into fall and the flowers have a unique fragrance reminiscent of coriander. In fall the foliage color turns to attractive hues of goldish orange before fading to light bronze in winter. Prairie Dropseed makes a distinctive border and is outstanding in mass plantings or in pots planters and other containers.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIf you're wondering how this plant got it's name, tiny rounded mature seeds drop to the ground from their hulls in fall.

It performs its best in full to part sun. We suggest 6 hours of sunlight per day. Maintenance is minimal. If foliage browns during winter you can cut it back to just above 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eClick on the Planting \u0026amp; Care Advice tab on this page to find helpful advice from our experts on how to plant, fertilize, prune and water Prairie Dropseed Grass\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\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\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\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":48146427019418,"sku":"D2LSC 966500032","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/sporobolis-heterolepis-prairie-dropseed-grass-19_710077ff-c6ea-4fdf-9806-fed2d6d93f27.jpg?v=1779954006","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/prairie-dropseed-grass-sporobolus-heterolepis-6-pack-of-1-gallon-pots","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
