    The Dwarf Fakahatchee Grass, or commonly known as Florida Gamagrass, is a smaller relative of Fakahatchee Grass. This native grass is easy to grow and low maintenance which makes it a great addition to many landscapes. It is an evergreen clumping grass with thin, slender blades with noticeably more narrow blades than its non-dwarf relative and also a smaller mature height of about 2 to 3 feet. Distinctive rust-colored flower spikes stand a little taller than the foliage. Dwarf Fakahatchee Grass acclimates to both dense and light soils and is one of the most shade tolerant grasses, growing best in full sun or light shade. Another great feature is its tolerance to both wet soil conditions and droughts. This endangered Florida native grass attracts the Byssus Skipper butterfly and provides cover for lizards and other small animals. Dwarf Fakahatchee Grass works great as an accent in ground cover beds, a stabilizer for banks and steep slopes and a nice edging along streams and ponds.
