{"product_id":"chasmanthium-latifolium-1","title":"Chasmanthium latifolium (Northern Sea Oats) - 1 gal","description":"Northern Sea Oats, also called Inland Oats or River Oats, is a great filler of empty space. It prefers to grow along shaded stream and river banks, moist meadows and along woodland edges. It will quickly colonize an area under favorable conditions, with fibrous roots and spreading rhizomes, and by seed. The flattened seed heads that resemble oats will first appear green, then pinkish, then copper towards the end of the growing season where they'll persist until eaten or shattered. Small mammals and birds will eat the seeds, use the woody stems for nesting material, and use the large colonies of foliage for cover. There are several species of Lepidoptera that host on Northern Sea Oats, such as the beautiful Northern Pearly Eye.Northern Sea Oats is tough and adaptable, tolerating deer, salt and Juglone toxicity, making it an excellent choice for problem areas that are hard to find robust and attractive plantings to fill.Sources:\u003cbr\u003eNative Ferns, Moss, \u0026amp; Grasses by William Cullina\u003cbr\u003eGardening with Grasses by Michael King and Piet Oudolf\u003cbr\u003eMissouri Botanical Garden\u003cbr\u003eLady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center\u003cbr\u003eIllinois Wildflowers\u003cbr\u003eUSDA Plants Database\u003cbr\u003eGrow Native!
