{"product_id":"sporobolus-heterolepis","title":"Sporobolus heterolepis | Prairie Dropseed","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrairie dropseed is ideal when you want a natural garden to look graceful rather than rough. Its exceptionally fine leaves form a dense, rounded mound, while airy flower stems rise above it in summer and catch the light without blocking neighbouring plants. The seedheads are known for a distinctive fragrance often compared with coriander or toasted nuts, and the foliage develops warm golden to orange colour in fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis long-lived North American native is a strong choice for prairie gardens, sunny slopes, contemporary mass plantings and lower-water borders. It stays in an orderly clump instead of running, so it provides the ecological character of a native grass with a polished garden presence. The seeds also offer food for birds, and the standing foliage adds shelter and winter texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant in full sun for the best form and flowering, in well-drained soil ranging from sand to clay. Water regularly while establishing; mature plants handle heat and drought well. Growth begins later in spring because this is a warm-season grass. Leave standing over winter and cut back to 10–15 cm in early spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIMPORTANT: IN-STORE PICKUP ONLY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plant may be ordered online for pickup at Fruits \u0026amp; Shoots in Chilliwack, BC.
