Northern sea oats

---

---

The bobbing flat seedheads of Northern sea oats are distinctive, almost looking like little buff to bronze fish. It's one of the best ornamental grasses for partial shade, although it grows well in full sun, too. The arching seed heads mature to golden bronze and are effective in fresh or dried arrangements.

Leave this plant standing in winter if you like -- it's attractive with a dusting of snow. However, if you want to prevent this prolific reseeder from popping up everywhere, cut off the seed heads in fall.
