Chasmanthium latifolium – River oats

Description

River Oats (Chasmanthium latifolium) are shade-tolerant, clump-forming grasses prized for erosion control, rain gardens, and ornamental value, needing cold stratification (2-4 weeks fridge) for seed germination, thriving in moist soil with part-shade, and serving as a food/host for birds, small mammals, and specific butterflies/moths, while being wind-pollinated.
