A shade tolerant grass with a preferance for even moisture, these will also grow in sunnier settings. They mature relativly quickly to roughly 4' in height and often begin to fade within a few years. These traits make them excellent companions for slower maturing species when planning a naturalized space.

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