Bottlebrush Grass (Elymus hystrix)

From $6.00

I'm native to New York state an Tompkins County, NY.

I'm a cool season grass, which means I start to grow early in the growing season.

My seed heads rise above my leaves in the summer and turn a pretty brown in the fall, adding interest in the garden.

I'm nice to cut for indoor arrangements.

My seeds attract birds.
