Description

The Deergrass is a warm-season perennial that forms dense clumps from the base. The spike-like flower stalks grow 2'-3' tall and this grass has a striking foundation form. The Deergrass is native to California and needs watering once or twice a month after it has been established. The more water it has, the greener it is.
