Chasmanthium latifolium (Oat Grass - Upright Clumping)
Color Name: River Mist/Northern Sea Oats
Few ornamental grasses rival Chasmanthium, or "Northern Sea Oats," for elegance of form and flower. Highly prized for its unique drooping flower stalks bearing dangling seedheads that oscillate in a breeze. This grass also sports attractive, broad, soft, bright green foliage that turns copper in fall. Dries beautifully for everlasting arrangements. A must for any garden with full to part shade and regular moisture.
Growing Tips: This grass is tolerant of most conditions from sun to shade, and wet to dry locations. However, it will do best in moist soil and part shade. When the seeds are mature, they can be picked for fresh or dried flower arrangements.
