Care essentials
Grow in full sun for best flowering and form; lopsided Indiangrass is adapted to Florida's open sunny flatwoods and does not perform well in shade.
Very low water needs once established; this native bunchgrass is adapted to NE Florida's dry sandy uplands and tolerates both drought and occasional flooding. Supplemental irrigation is seldom needed.
Thrives in poor, well-drained sandy or loamy soils — avoid fertilizing, which promotes lush leafy growth at the expense of flowering. Cut back to 4–6 inches in late winter before new growth emerges.
