USDA Hardiness Zone. Prairie dropseed is a beautiful ground or lawn cover grown in 3-9 (USDA). Easy to grow. Whether you have a green thumb or not, you can grow it successfully. Sow. Sow seeds in seed-starter mix and keep them at about 70 degrees F, the perfect temperature for germination. Grow lights may help speed germination, and keep the soil consistently moist until the seedlings are well developed. Fun. Taking kids to grow this beautiful grass is not only fun but gives you the opportunity to teach them agriculture and science, too. Use. With its low-growing habit of dense tufts, this perennial bunch grass is a good fit for many different locations.It is a natural choice for rock gardens and areas with rocky poor soil. Prairie dropseed is a good choice for erosion control. Sporobolus heterolepis, commonly known as prairie dropseed, is a species of prairie grass native to the tallgrass and mixed grass prairies of central North America from Texas to southern Canada. Growing from tough fibrous roots, prairie dropseed has fine-textured, hair-like leaves that create an arching mound from which flower stalks containing panicles of pinkish-brown flowers rise 30 to 36 inches tall in summer. The foliage turns golden-orange in fall, then fades to bronze in winter. The clumps are not easily flattened by snow, allowing prairie dropseed to remain quite attractive in winter. The common name "dropseed" derives from the tiny mature seeds falling from their hulls in fall. How to Grow Prairie Dropseed From Seed Though prairie dropseed takes a long time to germinate and grow from seed in the wild, it is much easier to grow from seed when starting indoors. Keep the seeds in cold storage, such as a refrigerator, for several weeks for cold stratification before planting. Sow the seeds indoors about four weeks before you expect outdoor nighttime temperatures to be reliably at 50 degrees Fahrenheit or more. Sow the seeds in seed-starter mix and keep them at about 70 degrees Fahrenheit, the perfect temperature for germination. Grow lights may help speed germination, and keep the soil consistently moist until the seedlings are well developed. When the seedlings are about 3 inches tall, they are ready to be planted outside. Keep ample spacing between them, as the roots will spread. But don't expect plants started from seed to flower for several years.
