Dominant Plant Species

In the Prairie Biome, you will see...


Herbs, Grass, and Shrubs


But isn't there some kind of awe-inspiring plant species that's highly prominent, well-adapted, and resilient under the most harsh of conditions that I will see when I'm there on my vacation?

yes.

Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans)

Why is Indiangrass so awesome?

  • High Drought Tolerance
  • Seeds germinate due to Dry Stratification
  • Becomes dormant during winter and grows tall during summer
