Managing the Prairie  
Ground Cover  
Tallgrass plants are well suited as ground cover for a wide variety of situations. They work well in soil restoration and reclamation projects owing to their 'clay-busting' properties and low nutrient and water needs. They are also quite effective when planted along streams where their deep roots stabilize erodible areas. In addition, tallgrass plants are not weedy in nature and do not spread quickly to re-colonize new ground. Thus, they are not invasive to agricultural fields or lawns.
