Common name: Split-beard Bluestem

  • Light: Full sun
  • Water Needs: Average to dry
  • Height: 3–4′
  • Seasonal Interest: In late summer, foliage begins to turn a coppery-red color. In fall, feathery seed heads “split” to reveal silvery-white hairs that shimmer en masse atop stems.
  • Growing Tips: Prefers sunny areas with mostly dry, sandy soils, but adapts to a range of soil types. Adds texture to meadow gardens, but beautiful enough to stand on its own as an accept plant. Good ground cover for sandy or gravelly, exposed areas.

SKU: ana_ter_000 Category:
Anatherum ternarium is a hardy, clump-forming grass with shimmery seed heads.
