June Grass (Koeleria macrantha)

$150.00
    Details

    June Grass (Koeleria macrantha) is a compact, cool-season native grass that brings fine texture, seasonal contrast, and ecological value to sunny, dry gardens. This 32-plant pack is ideal for naturalistic plantings, rock gardens, or prairie borders where early-season structure and low-maintenance performance are key.

    In early summer, this grass sends up slender stems topped with fluffy, cream-colored seed plumes that sway gracefully among spring and early-summer wildflowers. Though modest in size, June Grass adds visual softness and contrast to bold blooms and serves as a valuable food source for herbivorous insects, including native grasshoppers.

    As summer heat intensifies, June Grass may go dormant, quietly fading until it re-emerges the following spring. It thrives in dry, well-drained soils and dislikes excessive moisture, making it a great fit for drought-tolerant or xeric gardens.

    Why Choose a Tray of June Grass?

    • Cool-season texture – Early plumes pair beautifully with spring wildflowers.
    • Drought-tolerant – Perfect for dry, sandy, or rocky soils.
    • Wildlife support – Host plant for herbivorous insects.

    Plant June Grass in full sun and well-drained soil, and enjoy a graceful, resilient native grass that quietly supports the ecosystem while adding beauty to the garden.
