DescriptionFavored by landscapers for its tendency to grow in decorative bunches, Prairie Dropseed is a fine-textured ornamental grass with long, narrow arching leaves that form attractive round tufts. Leaves range in color from a rich green hue in summer to golden-orange in the fall, and eventually fade to light bronze in the winter. Their tiny flower heads are noted for their unique coriander fragrance.
