Establish a Strong, Resilient Landscape with Indian Grass Starter Plant Plugs
 
Want to build a garden that blends natural beauty with ecological power? Our Sorghastrum nutans (Indian Grass) Starter Plant Plug is a native powerhouse that brings grace, structure, and habitat value to your landscape.
 
Indian Grass is a tall, warm-season bunchgrass native to North American prairies, known for its golden-bronze seed heads, upright form, and waving blue-green foliage. It’s ideal for adding vertical interest in garden borders, stabilizing soil on slopes, and enriching native meadows and pollinator plantings.
 
Our starter plugs make planting a breeze—giving you an established root system ready to thrive.
 
🎯 Please Note: Photos show mature Indian Grass in bloom for reference. Your starter plug will be fresh and healthy but may be dormant depending on the season. If your plant does not thrive, contact us for a replacement or refund.
