Not quite, but close. I have a patch (mixed with other types of native/low water grasses) out back, in an area that's gradually getting converted to something like a shortgrass prairie. It does stay short, but old stems tend to mat up, so it doesn't really green up until about June. I will probably go to running the mower (electric, of course) across it once a year, in the fall - can't do it in spring because of all the bulbs &c. Or maybe just invite the neighbors' horses over for a snack.
