'Gone With The Wind' is a seed strain (a bit variable) cultivar, that is smaller than the species of Sporobolus heterolespi.
Clumping, long-lived grass with fragrant flowers. Beautiful golden-orange color in the fall and beige in the winter. Prairie dropseed ranges across North America and is a major component of the prairie ecosystem, along with Big Bluestem and Indian Grass.
Easy to grow in average soil, ideal for urban and naturalistic landscaping.
Blooming Time: late summer - early fall (seedheads persist to early winter)
Size: 36-40" tall x 20-24" wide
USDA Zones: 3 - 9
Culture: full sun, half sun, average soil with average moisture to dry soil. Can be a bit slow to establish, but is long-living, and will thrive in poor, dry, gravelly, or shallow soil; can be useful for controlling soil erosion.
Moisture Needs: dry, medium-dry, medium (average)
Origin: Native to central USA, upper Midwest and bigger part of Canada, see the USDA distribution map.
Black Walnut Tolerant: yes
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: yes. Provides nesting material for native bees (Xerxes).
Attracts Hummingbirds: no, but the seeds are eaten by songbirds from late summer into winter (Field Sparrow, Savannah Sparrow, Tree Sparrow, and Slate-Colored Junco).
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 5" deep perennial pot
Plant Combinations: Great for urban landscaping - it will tolerate extreme temperatures and disturbed urban soils in traffic islands, big city containers, and green roofs, but looks perfect in any planting. Flower beds, eclectic, deer resistant plantings, naturalistic gardens, aromatic gardens, prairie-inspired gardens, etc.
Goes well with many native and non-native plants: Agastache, Amsonia, Artemisia, Asters, Baptisia, Catanache caerulea, Coreopsis, Eryngium, Echinacea, bearded Iris, Nepeta, Linum lewisii, Paeonia, Perovskia, Platycodon, Salvia, Sedum, Scabiosa, Stachys, Veronica spicata, Veronica incana and other shorter ones. Artemisia, Aster, Echinacea, Paeonia, bearded Iris, Perovskia, Sedum, narrow-leaved Vernonia hybrids. Medium to taller grasses (Muhlenbergia, Panicum, Pennisetum, Sporobolus, Schizachyrium).
