Green Drops Ornamental Grass Seed
Productive and easy to grow and harvest.
Stems can be harvested early, when bead-like tassels are sparkling, bright green. Or, for a more autumnal look, harvest a bit later, when seed heads have developed hues of purple and gold, and a deeper, graceful arch. Uniform plants can be used fresh or dried. Plumes are approx. 4–7" long, depending on stage of harvest. Similar in appearance to broom corn, but the plants are faster growing, and the plant height and habit are much more manageable.Specs:
