Pacific reedgrass
Pacific Reedgrass is an evergreen perennial bunchgrass that is mainly a coastal species in moist areas such as beaches, dunes, coastal woodlands, and wetlands. It prefers full sun along the coast, but is tolerant of partial shade inland.
It forms thick tufts that can reach up to 3.3 ft. tall with several flat grass leaves and narrow flower clusters that show throughout the spring and summer.
The glossy and gracefully curved leaves make this species a popular ornamental grass of the northern California coast.
