Andropogon ternarius

Split-Beard Broomsedge

A low maintenance, upright, native grass that is adaptable to many sites. Andropogon ternarius is equally at home in meadow, garden or roadside. Finely textured leaves and stems appear blue-green during the growing season then become multi-hued with shades of purples and reds in autumn while the silvery-white blooms seem to catch the sunlight.
