Plant description
Sporobolus heterolepis is a graceful, slow-growing grass that forms elegant mounds of mid-green foliage that transforms from bright green to stunning yellows and oranges as autumn approaches.
As summer fades, the plant is adorned with airy plumes of pinkish-brown flowers that mature into silvery seed heads. These seed heads often persist into winter, adding interest to the garden.
This slow-growing, long-lived grass brings sophisticated drama to contemporary gardens and meadow plantings alike, its drought-resistant nature and year-round structural presence making it invaluable for sunny, open sites in any well-drained soil.
