One distinguishing characteristic from the Blue Grama is a needle-like projection at the end of the seed head. It grows best on sandy and gravelly soils and is an excellent grass for the upland prairie or shoreline restoration project!

Wildlife: This grass, along with the other Grama grasses, provides nesting material for birds. It is also a host plant for a few species of skipper butterflies.
