Golden plumes above blue-green foliage — one of the Big Four, and among the most palatable natives in the prairie.
SIZEIndiangrass is a native perennial, warm-season tall grass, which reproduces from seed and short underground stems. It produces beautiful golden plume-like seed heads on stems that reach heights of 4 to 8 feet tall. It is easily identified by the claw-like ligule where the blade attaches to the sheath. Indiangrass is used for green forage or dry prairie hay and is very nutritious.
