Yellow prairie grass is sometimes called Indian grass, let’s change that. “A striking large grass that forms showy, coppery seed heads in late summer. A grass with high wildlife value for the seeds, cover, and as a host plant for skipper butterflies. Too aggressive for gardens but an excellent addition to meadows. Deer-resistant.” -Wild Seed Project
