Prairie dropseed (
Sporobolus heterolepis) is a handsome prairie ornamental grass with emerald green, hairlike foliage, and an arching shape. The foliage grows just 15-18-in. tall, with flower spikes reaching twice that height in late summer. Being tolerant of
poor, dry soils, prairie dropseed is well suited for
erosion control on slopes. It can also be used to
replace lawn grass, needing less watering, fertilizing and mowing. Best in zones 3-9.
