With its extensive root system, this native ornamental grass of North America makes a great erosion control for banks or slopes. Songbirds are drawn to the wispy seed heads in the fall, which are bird-friendly, and to the dense leaf mounds in the spring, which offer protection and material for nests.

This U.S. native was one of the dominant grasses of the tallgrass prairie which once covered much of central North America. Songbirds love the seeds, some butterflies use this as a food plant, and many native bees use bits of it for nesting material. Put a little piece of prairie in your own yard or meadow!
