Eastern Gamma Grass

This species prefers full sun and moist soil. Typically grows in the wild in pure stands on rairies, limestone slopes, fields, thickets, wood margins and roadsides. Naturalizes by thick, creeping rhizomes and self- seeding. Interesting fall colors. Can become floppy- to avoid this, cut back plants in early summer to keep a shorter, erect form. Cut back to ground after frost kills the foliage. Food source for caterpillars. Attracts birds and livestock.
