Hi, Sally -- I've grown prairie dropseed and not has a problem with self-sowing. Carolyn Harstad's book, Go Native (IU Press1999), says it does not generally self sow. The clumps can be divided in fall or spring.

Does anyone have experience growing these 2 plants?
Wild quinine Parthenium integrifolium
Prairie dropseed Sporobolus heterolepis
My questions are:
Does Wild quinine live up to the catalog description? Does the plant age
gracefully in autumn? What does it look like after frost?
Does Prairie dropseed live up to its name, that is does it drop seed
profusely, and is it "invasive"?
Thanks for advice.
