Virginia wildrye

  • Product number: 673375
  • Origin: North America
  • Latin: Elymus virginicus

This American grass looks like rye and barley when in bloom (1 m high), but this species is perennial and can also tolerate shade very well. The plant greatly appreciates moist soil and, in addition to providing great ornamental value in combination with perennials, also provides food and nesting material for birds and small mammals. It is very easy to grow!

Names:
Latin: Elymus virginicus
