Koeleria macrantha (Prairie June Grass) - 1 gal
Prairie June Grass
Prairie June Grass is a native cool-season bunchgrass that prefers to grow in dry, rocky prairies and meadows in full sun. It has a fibrous root system that leads it to stay tightly clumped in erect tufts, usually about 2' tall and as wide. The flowers have the look of silvery green plumes which mature into brown seed spikes. The plants may go dormant soon after they produce seed, making it a questionable choice for prominent areas of the garden. Prairie June Grass would fit best in a location where it can self-seed freely. They can sometimes resurrect in the fall when the weather cools, perhaps even blooming a second time. This is a great prairie restoration plant, pairing well with other grasses and meadow flowers.Sources:
