Slender indiangrass is a robust perennial grass reaching heights of 4 to 8 feet (1.2 to 2.4 meters). It features coarse, ribbon-like leaves that can lend a rough texture to the touch. In late summer and early fall, slender indiangrass produces distinctive nodding yellow flower panicles, which create a visual appeal and serve as a food source for local songbirds. This plant also exhibits a high level of deer resistance, making it an appealing option for areas with active deer populations.
