Indian Grass (Sorghastrum
nutans)
Indian Grass is native to the mid-Atlantic region. This is
one of our tallest grasses, and is useful for winter interest, in
dried flower arrangements, and for erosion control on slopes. It
looks great swaying in the breeze in a field or in the back of
borders. The plant will come to you in a 3.5 inch pot. Water
thoroughly before planting and regularly until established.

Eco-friendly grower
All of my plants are grown using earth
friendly techniques, from seed collection to watering with
rainwater. Pots are 100% recylced, some are re-used containers,
others are made from recycled plastics. Plants are fed with
PLANT-TONE by Espoma, an organic fertilizer and/or worm castings. I
grow plants that can replace those lost to development in order to
help sustain wildlife that depend on them. You can be assured that
you are not getting plants from the wild, which is unethical and
further contributes to habitat loss.

Native plant range and our shipping
Most of our plants are also found native to the Midwest,
however that is generally the extent of their range. In an effort
to keep our native plants native to their natural range
, we do not ship west of the Great Plain States. This
includes Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho,
Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii. If
you live in these states, please do not order.
Raven's note:
I offer only healthy, robust, plants that I
have taken great care in growing. I also take great care in packing
them. If for some reason they arrive in poor condition, I may
refund or exchange at my discretion. You must notify me within 2
days of receiving them as I cannot be responsible for them once
their care is out of my control. Sometimes despite all efforts, a
plant gets dehydrated during transit. Just set the plant in its pot
in a tray of water for a couple of hours and this should bring it
around.
Please note that I may need to trim plants back to
fit them in their boxes. This will not hurt them; it actually
encourages further growth.
