Outstanding Ornamental Grass: Dwarf Prairie Dropseed
Nothing adds pizazz to a landscape like finding the perfect ornamental prairie grass. The Dwarf Prairie Dropseed (Sporobolus heterolepis \’Tara’) does just that. Its wonderfully expressive compact form and rich fall color make it the ideal addition to your yard.
The Dwarf Prairie Dropseed thrives in conditions other plants would find less than ideal. As a dwarf version of native grass, it adapts well to clay, open areas, and glades. In fact, it loves to let its graceful blades sway and dance in the gentle breeze, and its specialty is adapting to dry and rocky regions.
This spritely plant grows in festive medium green clumps. Its thin leaves grow upright and fan outward in a lovely fountain or vase shape. And when summer rolls around, the Dwarf Prairie Dropseed decorates itself with fine creamy orange flowers that are known for their distinct coriander scent.
You don’t have to worry about this delightful plant self-seeding. It’s sterile, so it won’t take over your garden.
How can you best use Dwarf Prairie Dropseed in your yard? This plant is perfect for mass plantings. It will add a shock of green to your yard in the summer and orange in the fall, and it features texture that other plants can only dream of. Its easy-to-manage size makes it excellent for architectural flair and a manicured look.
You may also want to use your Dwarf Prairie Dropseed as an accent plant or to establish contrast of color and shape. It also will dazzle you as a groundcover or a way to add green to your rock garden.
This refined plant is happy to provide fall color no matter where it becomes established. It glows in fall as it transforms from green to amber-like browns and reds.
To ensure your Dwarf Prairie Dropseed grows to its full potential, plant it in a sun-soaked region of your yard. It prefers drier soil that drains quickly. It does well on slopes where the water can cascade away as it hangs tight to your soil.
Don’t miss out on your opportunity to grow on of the most versatile and attractive ornamental grasses. This perennial will surely become your go-to for texture and style. Oder a Dwarf Prairie Dropseed today!
