    Details

    Bottlebrush Grass (Elymus hystrix) is a graceful, shade-tolerant native grass that brings texture and year-round interest to woodland borders and low-light gardens. This 32-plant pack is perfect for naturalistic plantings or filling in gaps beneath trees, where many other plants struggle to thrive.

    With its broad green leaves emerging early in spring and distinctive silvery seedheads that resemble a bottlebrush, this grass adds subtle beauty from spring through winter. The upright seed stalks persist into the colder months, catching the light and adding structural interest to dormant gardens.

    Bottlebrush Grass grows clump-forming and manageable, making it easy to integrate without worry of aggressive spread. While young plants may be browsed by deer, mature plants are typically avoided, making it a dependable option for deer-prone areas.

    Why Choose a Tray of Bottlebrush Grass?

    • Thrives in shade – Ideal for woodland gardens and shady borders.
    • Unique winter texture – Decorative seedheads last through winter.
    • Low maintenance – Fills space without taking over.

    Plant Bottlebrush Grass in part to full shade with average to dry soils for a quietly elegant native that performs beautifully across the seasons.
