When to plant indiangrass

Indiangrass is a warm-season perennial prairie bunchgrass established from seed. NC State directs you to cut it back to the ground in late winter to early spring just before new growth appears, so establish new plants as that spring growth begins.

Indiangrass is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
