Wild Oats - Package of 25 Plants
$89.99
Wild Oats
Wild oats are a fast-growing, low-care requirement ornamental grass species that requires a sun and shade mixture or full sunshine (preferably the morning sun). This species is native to North America, Eastern Europe, and Asia--its widespread footprint shows how easy-going this grass is.
This blue-green grass is tall and lovely and makes a lovely element cut and tucked into a vase, replacing traditional greenery.
They require little or no care after planting. Please give it a semi-shaded spot, keep it happy with plenty of water, and watch it grow.
Wild Oats Are a Lovely Grass
Wild oats grow well in many locations. They like a minimum of an inch of water per week, but they also forgive if you miss a watering occasionally. They'll grow in a variety of settings:
Container garden (use a large pot)
Shade garden in a filtered sunny spot
Water garden or pond - place it on a filtered sun bank that drains well
The blossoms of wild oats form in a tall, light to medium green spike. The grass is flat, bright green, and lance-shaped with a narrow tip. It can grow as high as three feet tall and bounce back if you mow it to control the size.
Wild Oats Are Not Only Ornamental - They Have Practical Applications
Wild Oats and Soil Quality:
Many farms plant wild oats during the off-season (late fall or early spring before planting) after harvesting their crops. Adding this grass helps to uphold the soil's structure when it's bare, especially against wind erosion. When the farms cut back the wild oats before the next planting, it returns healthy nitrogen into the soil. This grass is an essential tool for soil health, particularly for farms that reduce or eliminate chemical nitrogen use.
Attract Beautiful Birds to Your Yard:
Birds will love the tall grass and its seeds for nourishment. They will flock to a field of wild oats and pick clean the tall spikes of their seeds. Ground birds will also use the grass as cover against possible predators.
Animal Grazing:
Wild oats are palatable and highly nutritious for grazing animals. It is even an ingredient in human cereals. It is an affordable grass to plant and easy to grow, thus cutting back on dependency on commercial grains.

River Oats - Package of 25 Plants
$79.99
River Oats (Chasmanthium latifolium)
River Oats: Chasmanthium latifolium, or river oats, are a North American native, perennial grass species that will perform best in partial sunshine in the warmer USDA plant hardiness zones.
In particular, they flourish in the warm, humid climate of the southeastern United States. This species is forgiving and resilient: deer-resistant; drought-tolerant; disease-resistant; pest-resistant; and unconcerned about soil type or quality. They love wet but well-drained soil that will let the roots dry out once in a while.
They grow naturally in flood plains, bottomlands, river valleys, on the banks of swamps, marshes, and ponds, and along streams and creeks.
Replicating these growing conditions in landscape planning, gardeners find river oats useful in these locations:
In the filtered sunlight near a pond, water garden, or other water feature
To prevent erosion in a slow-draining natural area
Near a creek or stream on a property
River Oats Provide Casual Good Looks in Your Garden
Chasmanthium latifolium has a noteworthy feature that gives it a distinct appearance--droopy seed heads that appear to "nod off" as if it is ready for a nap. They sway along on their green and smooth stems, even with the slightest breeze.
This native grass is clumping, erect, and easy to grow--each clump becomes up to two feet wide. It will reach a mature height of up to five feet.
The leaves are long and narrow--almost nine inches long and an inch wide. They put on an ever-changing display of color throughout the year. In the spring, they emerge bright green; they'll turn golden tan in the summer; fall brings a burgundy, copper, or purple hue; in winter, river oats leaves turn copper or brown.

In fact, this plant grows naturally from the western plains of Canada, in the entire lower 48 of the United States, and to the northern Mexican states. That large footprint is a testimony to the resilient nature of this ornamental species.
Blue grama grass prefers to bask in the full sunshine, but it will also tolerate some shade, especially in the afternoon. It is drought-tolerant and needs a mere half-inch of water each week, but it does not like overwatering. It's unfussy about soil texture or quality. However, if you are planting it in heavy or clay soil, you should de-compact it and work in some organic matter before you plant it.
Where to Use Blue Grama Grass in Your Yard

Big Bluestem - Package of 25 Plants
$79.99
Andropogon Big Bluestem Grass
Big bluestem grass (Andropogon) is a decorative, large, perennial grass with large, lovely tufts that flower in the late summer and early fall. It grows in almost every USDA plant hardiness zone and is impressively large.
Big bluestem is a native species in North America and Central America. It is most famous as the tall prairie land grass widespread across the Great Plains regions of the United States and southern Canada.
It loves a mix of sun and shade but also tolerates full sunshine. It's a warm-season grass, doing most of the work strengthening and spreading its roots in the late spring and early summer. It's unfussy about soil quality, and while it would prefer an inch or more of weekly rainfall, it is also drought tolerant.
Where to Use Big Bluestem Grass in Your Landscape
This very tall Andropogon grass is helpful for many landscape applications:
Create a natural privacy screen: Plant it to create a more private deck, hot tub, or patio if you have close-by neighbors.
Near a pond or water garden: This sedge makes the banks surrounding a pond more intriguing
Pollinator garden: Bees, butterflies, and dragonflies will visit and help pollinate your garden for better health.
Restoration: Restore a depleted natural area with native grass species for less maintenance.
Big Bluestem Grass Reaches an Impressive, Stately Size
When you see the tall size and blue-green color of big bluestem grass, you will immediately understand the reason for its descriptive and accurate common name.
The plant can grow as tall as eight feet, with a spread of about three feet per plant. It grows in small clumps that develop solid and deep roots to support the skyscraping height.
The grass generally stands upright and true; if you see it beginning to flop, then it might have a bit too much shade. Feathery-textured fork-shaped red or copper flowers appear during the middle to end of summertime and go to seed just before fall.

Three Square Sedge - Package of 25 Plants
$79.99
Three Square Sedge (Schoenoplectuspungens)
Three Square Sedge: Schoenoplectus pungens, or the three-square sedge plant, is a North American and South American native species. It is a beautiful water-loving plant that will grow in almost all USDA plant hardiness zones in either full or partial sunshine.
In nature, three square sedges occur in flood plains, saltwater marshes, bogs, freshwater swamps, near streams, and even ditches full of standing water. It performs well in shallow water, usually six inches deep or less.
TN Nursery customers rely on three square sedge to install in ponds or picturesque lakes, water gardens, rain gardens, and natural areas with often-standing water. Although it prefers a watery environment, the three-square sedge is conversely drought tolerant.
It is an agreeable ornamental grass--heat-tolerant, cold-tolerant, pest-resistant, salt water-tolerant, and disease-resistant. It is also not particular about soil type or quality. Once you plant the three-square sedge plant, it requires little to no additional care.
Three Square Sedge Assists in Helping to Minimize Harmful Soil Erosion
Water is in constant motion. Thus, it is a significant cause of erosion. Moving water can wash out the earth during its motions--waves, wind, or merely running its natural course down a stream.
The addition of water-loving plants can help mitigate this destructive force of nature. The roots of three-square sedges will dig into the ground, covering the soil and helping to retain it in its place, thus creating a more sustainable ecosystem.
The Handsome Good Looks of Three-Square Sedge
This swamp grass grows in impressively large underwater clumps and spreads fairly wide. It grows about three to four feet above the water's surface. The stems are forest green, erect, and reproduce each season by dropping seeds. Some gardeners like planting this grass in containers they submerge in the pond to help control the size and spread.

Bushy Bluestem- Package of 25 Plants
$79.99
Bushy Bluestem (Andropogon glomeratus)
Bushy Bluestem: Andropogon glomeratus, or bushy bluestem, is a tall, attractive perennial ornamental grass that will thrive in the warmer USDA plant hardiness zones.
Bushy bluestem is a North American native species. It originated adjacent to fertile southeastern forests in the Appalachian region, typically basking in the full sunshine in swamps, bogs, streams, natural springs, or other continuously moist habitats. This grass will perform beautifully in muddy spots that could smother other less wet-tolerant grasses.
Andropogon glomeratus is a low-maintenance species that does not care about soil type or quality. As long as you give it organically, woody matter like compost or hardwood mulch, or a slow-release fertilizer, it will do well.
TN Nursery suggests this ornamental for use in a slow-draining area near a pond, stream, creek, or other water feature on your property. It does not take well to dry conditions.
Where to Use Bushy Bluestem
Bushy bluestem must have a predominantly moist habitat; it is not tolerant of dryness. The good news is this--once you locate that perfect wet, sunny spot, it becomes almost maintenance-free and will grow into a tall, beautiful plant.
Plan to use Addropogon glomeratus in the following garden settings:
Koi pond
Water Garden
Near a constantly dripping or bubbling water feature
On a riverbank or next to a stream
Slow-draining depressions on your property that never seem to drain.
The Tall and Impressive Beauty of the Bushy Bluestem
This ornamental is tall--it reaches six feet wide and up to three feet wide at maturity. Each tall leaf is about a half-inch across, is fibrous, and reaches high toward the sun. In autumn, it turns a lovely copper color.
The grass forms flowers in late summer or early fall. The blooms form clusters, usually cream or tan in color, and form a unique beard shape.

Where to Plant Tussock Sedge in Your Landscape

Use Carex stricta in some of these locations:
Water Garden
Rain garden
Near a pond, stream, or creek

Prairie Dropseed - Package of 25 Plants
$79.99
Prairie Dropseed (Sporobolus heterolepis)
Prairie Dropseed: Sporobolus heterolepis, or prairie dropseed, is a beautiful, sophisticated ornamental grass species native to North America. It will grow well in almost all USDA plant hardiness zones in the contiguous United States. This warm-season grass prefers a home in mixed sun and shade or full sunshine.
The prairie dropseed takes its name from two things. It is first an homage to the plant's original home, the North American prairies. It next refers to the tiny, round seed which matures in a pod, breaks open, and then drops to the ground for self-seeding.
Prairie Dropseed Is a Good-Natured Ornamental Grass
Prairie Dropseed is an easy-going species, happy in almost any soil texture. It only asks the gardener to de-compact the soil and mix in peat moss, leaf litter, or mulch to loosen up clay or denser soils.
It likes to receive about an inch or so of weekly water, but it does not like wet feet or standing water. Please give it a quickly-draining location in your garden for the best results. The roots are sturdy and fibrous, which can help protect the area against erosion.
It is a lovely addition for many different landscape applications, including these:
Mass plantings
Garden border (in the middle row)
Foundation plantings
Shade garden
Native species garden
Urban garden
Rock garden
Pollinator garden
It's extraordinarily agreeable and willing to stand alone as an accent plant or in a large colony to create a focal point.

Three Seeded Sedge - Package of 25 Plants
$79.99
Three Seeded Sedge (Carex trisperma)
Three Seeded Sedge: Carex trisperma, or three seeded sedge, is a vibrant green, tall, North American native perennial grass. It originated in New England but will do well in almost all USDA plant hardiness zones in the contiguous United States. It is unfussy about light requirements, growing in complete sun or a mixture of sunshine and shade.
Three Seeded Sedge Is a Water Pond Favorite
TN Nursery customers with ponds love this sedge grass for its relatively easy care along the banks of their water garden. This grass loves a moist environment, such as the edges of a creek, river's edge, swamp, inlet, or pond. But it's also drought-tolerant during short dry spells.
Three seeded sedge stems are thick and fibrous with three long, narrow arrow-shaped leaves that wrap around them tightly. This growing pattern gives the sedge grass the necessary structure as it grows into a tall, spiky plant at maturity. The leaves are generally glossy in appearance and dark green. However, depending on the soil and light conditions, the colors can range from a lighter, yellowish green to forest green--almost brown.
They form large, attractive clumps that will spread to about one foot across. The clumps will house ten or more two-foot tall tufts to form a lovely spiked appearance.
Carex trisperma Attracts Local Wildlife
Three seeded sedge blossoms arrive in the summer, small white flowers. Although almost unnoticeable among the grassy cover, bees and butterflies will take note and arrive to help spread the pollen. Birds will also arrive as the flowers give way to seeds that will provide them with an excellent source of nutrition.

Broomsedge - Package of 25 Plants
$79.99
Broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus)
Broomsedge: Andropogon virginicus, common name broomsedge, is an ornamental, perennial sedge grass. It's a native species originating in North America as far north as Maryland and Virginia, all of Central America, and South America as far south as Venezuela.
This stately sedge grass requires full sunshine, especially in the morning. It also loves highly moist soils. It's a fantastic addition to add a lovely visual element near a pond, water garden, or creek bank.
Broomsedge is lovely as meadow grass and a fast-growing species with more than just decorative value.
This grass takes its name from its traditional function. Historically, people let the green grass fade to tan in the fall, dry, and then harvest it. They would bundle their bounty at the end of a stick, fashioning them into a broom.
That also explains its alternate common names, broom straw grass or old-field broom straw grass.
Broomsedge Can Help Manage Soil Erosion
Some gardeners choose brooms edge for its lovely appearance and golden tones in the fall.
However, others plant it to cope with soil erosion, especially near areas in which flooding occurs. Broomsedge is a fast-growing plant with a spreading habit of as much as ten inches per growing season. That means its sprawling root system can take hold of the earth and help cover it quickly, protecting against two primary causes of erosion--wind and water.
The Interesting Good Looks of Broomsedge
Broom straw grass can reach up to four feet tall and approximately a foot wide in a single season. The grass blades are tall, thin, and a pleasant green early in the season; during the late summer, the color changes to a blue or purple and then fades to a golden yellow. It also develops feathery, fluffy orange flowers in autumn.
Many people let broom straw grass remain in place throughout the winter to add color to an otherwise dreary landscape.

Palm Sedge - Package of 25 Plants
$79.99
Palm Sedge (Carex muskingumensis)
Palm sedge: Carex muskingumensis, or the palm sedge, is a lovely ornamental grass that wakes up early in the spring. As a native of the United States, the perennial species comes from the rich forests of the east coasts. Consequently, it is well-suited for the moderate USDA plant hardiness zones.
Palm sedge is also a long-lived species, with a life expectancy of about ten years. It prefers a shady spot and loves soil with high moisture content, occasional flooding, or standing water. Despite its affinity for water, it is surprisingly also drought-tolerant.
Palm Sedge is Highly Decorative and Easy to Use in Your Garden
Palm sedge is an easy-natured species with no particular soil preference. However, it benefits if you help it by de-compacting heavy or clay soils when you plant it and add some organic compost to help replenish it. This step will help nourish it in clay soil, which often lacks nutrients.
You can use palm sedge as an accent plant paired with bright flowers--the lovely shade of bright green will look beautiful. Conversely, you can plant Carex muskingumensis in large, showy groupings to create an attractive, well-textured focal point.
TN Nursery suggests a few applications for palm sedge:
