Narrative
Perennial, warm-season bunch grass with short rhizomes and erect stems that reach a height of six feet. Leaf blades are rolled in the bud shoot. Sheaths are round, open and may be hairy at the base. Prominent, membranous, claw-like ligule resembles a rifle sight. Narrow plume-like seedhead that turns golden at maturity. Since undergoing no purposeful selection, it should not differ in rate of spread, seed production, vigor, or behavior from naturally occurring indiangrass in area. Anticipated uses include providing food/cover for wildlife, increasing species diversity, controlling erosion, and restoring native plant environments.
