100 Seeds Smooth Panicgrass Panicum dichotomiflorum Warm Season Grass
Smooth Panicgrass (Panicum dichotomiflorum) is a warm season annual grass that forms loose, open clumps of bright green foliage topped with airy, spreading seed heads. It is a fast-growing native-type grass valued for its natural meadow look, quick establishment, and ability to fill space in wildflower plantings.
This grass works well in meadow gardens, naturalized areas, and wildlife-friendly plantings where its fine texture and light seed panicles add seasonal movement. It grows readily from seed in warm soil and can also be used for erosion-prone ground and temporary cover in open, sunny sites.
