Also called Prairie Cordgrass and Sloughgrass, this upright, rigid, perennial grass has coarse leaves and tan, stiff seedheads that turn yellow in the fall and attract birds. It grows 5 to 6 feet tall in full sun, and in moist to wet, rich soils. Freshwater Cord Grass has a tendency to spread quickly and widely, so this plant is best suited for large areas.
