Yellow Prairie Grass Seeds (Sorghastrum nutans) — often called Indian Grass — is a beautiful native warm-season prairie grass known for its tall golden seed heads and excellent drought tolerance. This hardy perennial grass is widely used for native prairie restoration, wildlife habitat, erosion control, and natural landscaping. Once established, Yellow Prairie Grass develops deep roots that help stabilize soil while thriving in hot, dry conditions.
Growing up to 4–7 feet tall, Sorghastrum nutans produces striking golden-yellow seed plumes that sway in the wind from late summer through fall, adding dramatic color and movement to meadows and naturalized landscapes. It pairs well with other native prairie grasses and wildflowers, making it ideal for pollinator gardens, conservation plantings, and large open landscapes.
Yellow Prairie Grass is also valuable for wildlife habitat, providing cover and nesting material for birds while supporting beneficial insects and pollinators. Its adaptability to poor soils and low maintenance requirements make it a great choice for sustainable landscaping and ecological restoration projects.
