'Thin Man' Indian Grass

Thin  Man Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans ‘Thin Man’) brings strong vertical structure without overpowering. Its striking, narrow clumps of blue-green foliage rise to about 6 ft, topped by glowing bronze seed heads from summer through winter. Designed for dry, rocky conditions and trained to grow upright, it holds its form in wind and dazzling sunshine. A natural anchor for large-scale landscapes, it blends easily with softer native wildflowers, rock-adapted shrubs, or low grasses.

Ideal for canyon entrances, sloped yards, or structural prairie plantings, Thin Man commands attention with architectural poise and ecological purpose—supporting birds, butterflies, and wildlife, while demanding little as it settles into your site.

‘Thin Man’ is a trademarked cultivar of Indiangrass selected from southwestern U.S. seed sourced for its exceptional drought tolerance, upright form, and striking blue-green foliage. Its reliable structure and narrow habit make it especially well-suited for modern Utah landscapes.
