Wand Panic Grass

Also known as Wand Panic Grass, this clump-forming, perennial grass grows 3 to 6 feet tall, with open, delicate sprays producing small seeds. Bright green leaves sprout along the stem, and turn bright yellow in fall. This plant grows in full sun to partial shade, and in a variety of dry to moist soils including sandy, sandy loam, clay, and limestone-based soils. It is attractive to butterflies, highly resistant to deer, and provides cover, nesting material, and food (seeds) to ground-feeding/game birds.
