Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans) is a warm-season perennial grass native to North America. It is known for its ecological, ornamental, and agricultural benefits. 
 
Indian grass provides valuable habitat and food for various wildlife species. The dense clumps and seeds of Indian grass attract birds, including sparrows and quail, and it provides cover for small mammals.

Butterfly Habitat: The plant serves as a host plant for several butterfly species, contributing to biodiversity and supporting pollinator populations.
 
Indian grass has an extensive root system that helps prevent soil erosion. Its deep and fibrous roots contribute to soil stabilization, making it useful for erosion control in areas with slopes or disturbed soils.
 
Indian grass is appreciated for its ornamental features, especially in landscaping and naturalistic garden designs. The plant has attractive, narrow, arching leaves and produces feathery flower heads in late summer that turn golden brown in the fall, adding visual interest. It is an impressive size as well, reaching heights from 3-7 feet
 
Indian grass is adaptable to a range of soil types, including well-drained soils, and it can tolerate periods of drought once established. This adaptability makes it suitable for a variety of landscapes and soil conditions.
 
Indian grass is often used in ecological restoration projects to revegetate native habitats. It plays a role in restoring natural plant communities and enhancing biodiversity.
 
Like many grasses, Indian grass contributes to carbon sequestration by capturing and storing carbon dioxide in its biomass and soil.
 
Once established, Indian grass is generally low-maintenance. It is a resilient and hardy plant that can thrive with minimal intervention.
