Hardy in USDA \u003cstrong\u003eplanting zones 4–9\u003c\/strong\u003e, is a landscape worthy native perennial grass with bamboo-like foliage and flat, drooping seed heads that really stand out. In fact, they very much mimic a little fish hanging from a fishing pole, and one of their many common names \"fish-on-a-pole\" reflects that. Thriving in moist, shaded and semi shaded environments across the central, south and eastern United States, it adapts well to various soils, but is commonly found along river and creek systems, and drainages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRiver Oats provide essential food and habitat for local wildlife. The seed heads serve as a valuable food source for numerous species of songbirds and small mammals during the fall and winter months. Additionally, this native grass functions as an important larval host plant for several butterflies and skippers, including the northern pearly-eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the landscape, River Oats make a magnificent ornamental accent for shady edges, woodland gardens, rain gardens, and naturalized pond or stream edges. If you are looking for something to grow in the low area that is kind of shady that you're tire of mowing? This is a great option. Its bright green, arching summer foliage transitions to tan tones in the fall, while the persistent seed stalks provide wonderful architectural interest and winter movement. Because it readily reseeds and forms clumps, it also functions effectively as a structural groundcover or erosion control solution in damp, challenging shaded sites.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nativ Nurseries","offers":[{"title":"1 plug","offer_id":48043114332311,"sku":null,"price":5.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 plugs","offer_id":48043114365079,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0005\/0315\/2697\/files\/IMG_8462.jpg?v=1790178041","url":"https:\/\/www.nativnurseries.com\/products\/river-oats-wildflower-seed-plugs-chasmanthium-latifolium","provider":"Nativ Nurseries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
