Oryzopsis Hymenoides Indian Ricegrass

Oryzopsis hymenoides Indian Ricegrass, is a native North American perennial grass. This grass typically reaches heights of 12 to 18 inches and forms dense tufts of slender, fine-textured leaves. Its most striking characteristic is its graceful flower spikes, which rise above the foliage in late spring and early summer, bearing delicate, airy seed heads that resemble rice grains. These seed heads transition from green to a golden tan, adding a touch of rustic charm to the landscape. Indian Ricegrass is highly drought-tolerant and thrives in well-drained, sandy soils, making it a resilient and valuable addition to xeriscapes and native plant gardens.
