This grass was once known as Uniola latifolia. Will tolerate being planted near a Black Walnut tree, where there are few plants that will. Some consider the Northern Sea Oats as a Missouri native plant. It is an extremely lovely plant - wherever it comes from. It makes an excellent addition to a woodland setting by bringing a whole other texture and light to a partial shade setting. It does well in both full sun and a much shadier setting, where the seed heads can flutter, beautifully, in the breezes.
