Description

Northern Sea Oats, Chasmanthium latifolium, is a very ornamental woodland grass with gorgeous seed heads that are beautiful in dried arrangements as well as in the garden. This native grass grows best in shaded areas with fertile soils. An excellent choice for planting under the light shade of oaks and hickories, or any semi-shaded garden. Plant it in a protected location.

Product Questions

Will this plant reseed and take over a garden?

As with most native grasses, Northern Sea Oats is a strong self seeder. If left to its own devices, it can spread agressively, over time. However, a few clumps of seaoats in are garden are easy to manage. Cut off the seed heads in late fall, and do not let the seed heads lay on the ground, and the self seeding will not be an issue. This is easy to do with a few plants but would be difficult if the grass is planted in great quantity. The root system does have rhizomes, so it can spread that way, as well.
