I have praire dropseed seedlings that I plan to dig up next spring. Would you be interested? In my zone it is way too late to dig up any grasses. I also have wild quinine (parthenium integrifolia) that I will be digging as well. Any interest in that?

Hi Barbi, Would you like me to send you another packet? Both Panicum and Sporobolus are very pretty. They just give you a different look. This is Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah'. The seedlings may not look as good as the mother plant: This is Sporobolus heterolepsis: Please let me know. Sorry for the mistake.

Sorry , I raked them into my soil a couple of weeks ago. Best time to get ahold is earlier in the year , like august September when plants are seeding. I have acreage, so I am always trying to spread plants around.

I like the old S. iris Butter and Cream because it reblooms again in late summer if the spring flower stalks are cut back. I got Moon Silk which was supposed to be an improved version but it does not rebloom.
