 June grass
This small clumping perennial grass grows about 1-3′ tall. An attractive native grass, it looks like it belongs in a Japanese Garden. Ideal for drifts and masses, and will provide an effective slope or ground cover in hot, dry Summer climates. Space 2 ft apart.
Its eye-catching blue-green leaves and upright chartreuse flower spikes will go dormant in hot areas, but remain green in cooler summer climates.
Flowers start in June and are showy throughout July.
Food plant for the Columbia and Tawny-Edged Skipper butterflies.
