Ornamental Grass 'Green Drops'
Panicum violaceum
Farm favorite, everyone always comments on this grass! My favorite is when their tassels go from sparkly green to a deeper golden-mahogany that forms a graceful arch. Uniform plants are productive, fast to mature, and easy to grow and harvest. They can be used fresh or dried. All-around winner!
Packet contains approximately 75 seeds.
