Chasmanthium latifolium

Broad-leaved Chasmanthium or Northern Sea Oats

• Average to moderately high moisture soils
• Best in part shade but will tolerate full sun with sufficient moisture
• 3’ tall, 1’ to 2’ spread
• Summer blooming, seed heads into the fall
• Native to Ontario, beginner friendly, open woodland forest and high moisture (but not flooded) ecosystems

New to me this year, grown from seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery https://www.prairiemoon.com/chasmanthium-latifolium-river-oats-prairie-moon-nursery.html 

A clump forming grass that can spread, mostly by seed, to form a large patch if space allows. Their wide bladed foliage, arching stems and dangling seeds create a string visual effect in semi-shaded gardens.

Please check out the Prairie Moon listing at the link above for more details.
