- Deer Tongue -

Deer Tongue (Dichanthelium clandestinum) is a tough, adaptable native grass known for its broad, flat leaves that resemble a deer’s tongue—hence the name! It thrives in a variety of soil types, including sandy and poor soils, and is especially valuable for erosion control and naturalizing open spaces. This warm-season grass provides habitat and cover for wildlife and supports biodiversity without demanding much care. Perfect for meadow plantings, restoration projects, or filling in problem areas where other plants struggle.
