Elymus canadensis (Poaceae)

Canada Wild Rye Grass

Native along riverbanks, prairies, open ground, and often dry sandy soil over much of the United Stated and Canada. Clump-forming, 1-2m tall, flowering in mid to late summer. The inflorescences are reminiscent of cultivated rye, nodding gently and remaining attractive long into winter. The foliage is coarse-textured, usually green but sometimes glaucous blue-green, although the blue colour is never as strong as that of its relative Leymus arenarius. Of easy culture in sun on almost any soil, moist or dry.
Ht. 1-2m. Very hardy
