Perennial grass; 2-4ft tall
Warm season bunchgrass; greenish-purple seedheads bloom late summer to fall; foliage becomes tan in late autumn and winter
Deep roots contribute to soil stabilization and erosion control; a good species for prairie restoration

Birds attracted to both grasshoppers and seeds, including sparrows, longspurs, and juncos
