| About River Oats |  | | |
| | | River Oats is an attractive, upright arching grass resembling somewhat the more familiar Sea Oats of southern sand dunes. In full sun, it grows 3 feet tall with leaves 1/2 inch in width. In some shade, expect taller plants that may need some staking. Start in good potting soil and transplant when big enough to handle. Tolerates some drought or wet locations. | | Return to top |

| | | Chasmanthium latifolium. The flower/seed heads of River Oats which are effective from midsummer through mid-fall, are especially attractive. Long oblong, 3 by 1/2 inch wide spikelets with a distinct herringbone pattern are paper flat and pendant on thread-like pedicels dangling like earrings. These appear in arching sprays above the foliage and gracefully shimmer in the breeze. | | Return to top |
