Indian Grass
Indian grass is one of the most important native tall grasses.
The Grass 'Indian Grass', Sorghastrum nutans, is a clump forming native grass that reaches 4-5' in height.
Indian Grasses have plume-like seed heads that turn a chestnut brown, and later take on a grey coloration.
Seeds are consumed by birds and small mammals.
There are prominent claw-like lobes or "rabbit-ears" at the point where the leaf blade attaches to the stem.
This grass is fairly tolerant to drought conditions.

Soldier beetles will take on almost all destructive bugs, like cankerworms, caterpillars, white grubs, slugs, moths, grasshoppers, aphids, mites, and cutworms.
