Inland Sea Oats
Chasmanthium latifolium
Inland sea oats is the rare grass that actually wants the shade everyone else flees — flat seed heads that dangle, catch the low light, and feed the birds. The answer to that bald patch of ground under your trees you've been quietly losing to for years. 🌾

A native grass for shade — flat, dangling seed heads that catch the light and rustle at the smallest excuse of a breeze. Fills the dry ground under trees, that no-man's-land where the lawn goes to die.
