Elymus hystrix / BOTTLEBRUSH GRASS

Elymus hystrix, commonly known as Bottlebrush Grass, is a native perennial grass that adds unique texture and movement to garden landscapes. It features long, arching green leaves that form a dense, clump-like shape, and in late summer to early fall, it produces striking, bottlebrush-like seed heads that give the plant its name. The soft, spiky flower clusters are a pale green to bronze color and remain attractive well into the winter. Bottlebrush Grass thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or along streams. With its graceful form, distinctive seed heads, and low-maintenance care, Elymus hystrix is a lovely addition to gardens looking for natural texture and seasonal interest.
