Description:
Chasmanthium latifolium, also known as northern sea oats, is a deciduous grass native to central and eastern US. It grows up to 5 feet tall and spreads as it matures, with seed heads developing in late summer. The foliage turns copper in fall and brown in winter, adding seasonal interest. This grass prefers consistently moist or wet soils and thrives in full sun or partial shade. It is a larval host plant for the Northern Pearly-Eye butterfly and provides food for birds and mammals.
