Description: Inland Sea Oats, also known as Northern Sea Oats, is a native perennial grass prized for its graceful, arching stems and unique, flat seed heads that resemble oats. These seed heads turn from green to a rich bronze in the fall, providing year-round interest in the garden. Inland Sea Oats is well-suited to shady areas, woodland gardens, and along streams or ponds. It is also a valuable plant for erosion control.
Planting Tips:
- Plant in well-drained soil with good moisture retention.
- Space plants about 12-18 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots, then water as needed during dry periods.
- Cut back to the ground in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh growth.
- Ideal for naturalizing in woodland gardens, along streams, and for erosion control.
