Andropogon virginicus
Broomsedge is a clumping perennial grass noted for its seeds, which are evenly distributed along its 2 to 6 foot stems. During spring and summer its foliage is green, but it truly shines during the fall and winter when it settles into dormancy, showcasing beautiful bronze and orange hues. It provides seeds for birds, and nesting material for birds and native bees. It is a larval host for the Zabulon Skipper Butterfly.
You'll find broomsedge growing naturally in dry fields, thin woods, and on the upper shores of ponds. It prefers moist, sandy or loam soils with good drainage, and it fairly drought tolerant once established. It appreciates full sun, but tolerates part shade well.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
