Prairie Cord Grass

Long, graceful Prairie Cord Grass blades are sharply serrated and can easily cut skin. Prairie Cord Grass forms a sod with its heavy, multi-branched root system which can reach a depth of ten feet. Spreads by seed and creeping rhizomes to form dense, monotypic patches. Prairie Cord Grass offers both food and cover for a variety of wildlife.
