Native grasses mingle beautifully with wildflowers in both naturalized and formal settings. The variety of stalks and seedheads add visual interest well into winter. These grasses form the foundation of the North American Prairie – a plant community dominated by a few robust and adaptive native grasses that once covered the greater part of the Midwest.
