Sporobolus bakeri
Synonymous with Spartina bakeri. Commonly known as Sand Cordgrass, Clumping Cord Grass, or Bunch Cordgrass.
A beautiful clumping native grass found in the Southeastern US and Texas. Its narrow, fine-textured foliage grows up to five feet. An excellent backdrop for other perennials and it is stunning when planted in masses. Although it is native to the edges of lakes, canals and streams, it is also found in dry, sandy soil, making it quite versatile for a number of dry or wet situations. Tolerates flooding and is great for erosion control. Can even be drought tolerant once established. Cord Grass prefers full sun to part shade.
Although evergreen, during the winter the plant is more brown than during the summer, when it is brownish-green.

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.
