Broomsedge

Andropogon virginicus

Broomsedge is a primary native meadow grass in our region.  Drought tolerant, it requires little care and is virtually disease and pest free.  Seeds along the stems are striking in fall and winter when the fine hairs of the seeds catch the sunlight.  Supports the Common Wood-Nymph and Skipper butterflies.
