California oatgrass (Danthonia californica): California oatgrass is a lovely addition to native meadow plantings. Low-growing bunchgrasses develop gracefully drooping flowering heads in mid-summer. California oatgrass likes well-drained soil but is adaptable to a variety of moisture conditions and is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant. Full sun is best. Perennial. $6 for a 4” pot.
-
Blue wild-rye (Elymus glaucus): This vigorous, tall, perennial bunchgrass grows locally in prairies and the edges of woodlands. It’s deer-resistant and drought-tolerant. Plant in full sun to part-shade in well-drained soil. Flowering stalks can be 3 feet or more tall. Interplant with robust native perennials to create a tall, wild meadow or border. $5 for a 4” pot.
-
Prairie woodrush (Luzula subsessilis): This small grass-like plant is under 1 foot tall and is a great choice for mixing with wildflowers and grasses in a meadow or prairie setting. Choose full sun to part-shade and average, well-drained soil. Deer-resistant. Perennial. $4 for a 4” pot.
