Looking for a hardy, versatile plant for your wetland or watershed area? Look no further than Panicum anceps, commonly known as beaked panicgrass. Native to the southeastern United States, this rhizomatous perennial grass grows up to 1.3 meters tall with erect blades up to half a meter. Its panicle inflorescence can reach 40 centimeters long, bearing pale green or yellowish spikelets. The plant produces an abundance of beak-shaped seeds, which give it its name.

In addition to being a beautiful addition to any landscape design, Panicum anceps serves as a valuable food source for grazing animals, including cattle and horses. It also provides food for deer and birds. However, this plant does not tolerate overgrazing, so it is important to plan your grazing schedules accordingly.

Panicum anceps is also an excellent choice for revegetation efforts on disturbed land, such as mine spoils and roadsides. It thrives in moist to wet soils and can be a real asset in erosion control.
