About this plant

Northern Sea Oats is a graceful native grass that thrives in full to partial sun and adapts to a wide range of soil conditions. Deep green leaves form an arching clump, topped by distinctive flattened flower spikes that dangle like oats in summer and turn beautiful bronze shades in fall. This versatile grass tolerates more shade than most ornamental grasses and provides excellent movement and texture in woodland borders. The seed heads persist through winter, adding year-round interest to the landscape.
