640 – Prairie Dropseed

Regular price $4.00 Sale

Low maintenance ornamental grass. It has an aroma from its feathery panicles - some say its flowers smell like buttered popcorn or cilantro. Plant the grass along your path to your door so that you could reach out for your aroma therapy! Plant a mass of Prairie Dropseed on a slope and the blades of grass cascade forward making a green waterfall!!
