SPOROBOLUS WRIGHTII
Grower Notes:
Commonly known as Big Sacaton or Giant Sacaton, Sporobolus wrightii is a striking native grass of the western United States. This robust, upright bunch grass commands attention, reaching impressive heights of 6-7 feet and spreading 4-5 feet wide. Its large, airy plumes create a captivating visual above its handsome green foliage. Consider it a showy and statuesque alternative to Miscanthus.
Giant Sacaton flourishes in full sun and well-drained soil, exhibiting remarkable drought tolerance once established. Its adaptability extends to a variety of soil types, and its strong root system makes it a valuable asset for erosion control.
