This yellow-blooming grass flowers in fall and dies back in winter. It can be pruned back after blooming to look more tidy in winter. It is not edible but makes a great backdrop for other plants in your space. It is a larval host to multiple grass skippers, including; swarthy skipper (Nastra lherminier), Delaware skipper (Anatrytone arogos), Eufala skipper (Lerodea eufala) and twin spot Skipper (Oligoria maculate).
