Japanese Stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum) is a much-maligned “invasive plant,” but I don’t believe it deserves this reputation. Call me crazy, but personally, I love stiltgrass. And why not? She is beautiful, like a tiny bamboo forest. She clothes herself in a luxurious green and beams with lushness every morning dew. And she is also helpful… but I’ll get to that later.
