Add Subtle Elegance and Native Utility with Stout Woodreed Starter Plant Plugs
Looking for a graceful native grass that thrives in shaded, moist environments? Our Cinna arundinacea (Stout Woodreed) Starter Plant Plug is a shade-tolerant native grass perfect for softening the edges of woodland gardens, wetlands, and streambanks.
This tall, clump-forming grass produces slender arching foliage and delicate, nodding seed heads in late summer, adding vertical structure and movement to shady spaces. It's a low-maintenance option for native restoration, riparian buffers, and landscaping beneath tree canopies—offering cover and seeds for birds and insects.
Our plugs come fully rooted and ready to transplant—no waiting on slow-to-germinate seed!
🎯 Please Note: Photos show mature plants for reference. You’ll receive a live, healthy starter plug which may appear small or dormant depending on the season. All plants are guaranteed to grow—or your money back.
