Northern Sea Oats "Green Dangles" (Spangle Grass, Spike Grass)
Spangle Gras "Green Dangles" (Northern Sea Oats, Spike Grass) - Chasmanthium latifolium = Uniola latifolia.
A perennial plant of the Poaceae family.
Origin: Eastern United States, west to eastern Kansas (wooded slopes, damp thickets).
One of the hardiest North American grasses, it forms flat panicles of drooping flowers. It's excellent for cutting, and in fall and early winter, it creates a stunning display as the drying seed pods rustle in the wind.
Height of flowering plant: 80 cm.
Flower colour: initially pale green, then golden brown.
Foliage: Medium green, slightly curved.
Natural flowering period: August - October.
Growth type: erect.
Winter hardiness zones: Z4 - Z10.
Easy to care for, resistant to pests and diseases. Requires deadwood pruning in spring.
Soil requirements: moist, well-drained, moderately fertile.
Uses: Excellent for cutting—the spikelets remain fresh all winter. Plant in large groups near ponds and paths.
Valued for its decorative qualities throughout the season: in spring and summer it delights with fresh greenery, and in autumn it acquires golden and bronze hues, decorating the garden until the frost sets in.
