Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Adaptable to a range of soil types but prefers fertile, organically rich, moist, well-drained soil and partial shade. Tolerates poor conditions and drought once established. Can be grown in full sun if provided with consistent moisture. Plants can be cut back in late winter or early spring before new growth begins and seed heads can be removed if self seeding is not desired.

Genus Overview: Chasmanthium
Common Name: Northern Sea Oats
Upright, clumping habit with wide, deep green leaf blades, curling downward on the ends. Flowers rise above the foliage in summer and give way to attractive, flattened seed heads used in dried flower arrangements. Coppery winter foliage. Great for adding texture to borders, woodland gardens and naturalized areas.
