A grass plant of the genus Sporobolus, known for releasing seeds in scattered drops or by shattering.
From 'drop' and 'seed,' a descriptive name based on the plant's characteristic method of seed dispersal where seeds fall individually rather than all at once.
Dropseed grasses are native to North America and are making a comeback in sustainable landscaping because they're drought-tolerant, require no fertilizer, and their name perfectly describes their elegant seed-casting behavior.
