June Grass, Koeleria macrantha
$15.00
June grass (Koeleria macrantha) is a charming, early-season native prairie grass that brings texture and beauty to any landscape. As its name suggests, it blooms in June, producing delicate, silvery-green seed heads that shimmer in the sunlight. Unlike taller warm-season prairie grasses, June grass stays short and compact, making it a perfect choice for smaller garden spaces, rock gardens, or prairie restorations where early-season interest is desired.
This hardy grass thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining, sandy or rocky soils, making it an excellent option for dry, drought-prone areas. Its fine, blue-green foliage forms attractive tufts that add year-round structure, even after its graceful seed heads have faded. June grass also provides ecological value, offering shelter and forage for pollinators and serving as a larval host for certain butterfly species.
Low-maintenance and naturally adapted to prairie conditions, June grass is ideal for gardeners looking to create a resilient, native, and ecologically friendly landscape.
