Flowers tend to get people’s attention with color, but grasses can steal the show with their form. Take Kalm’s Bromegrass, for example – this amazing grass looks like a cross between wheat and a fireworks display! The graceful curves of the stems end with energetic seed heads that sway in the wind – and early in its growing season, the plant is painted with fuscsia on the stems, green on the seed pods, and a beautiful straw color in between. Kalm’s Bromegrass is a show stopper!
Let’s hear it for native grasses! Over the next few Tuesdays, I’ll be sharing other grasses that don’t get the attention they deserve. Stay tuned!

Shoot date: June 30, 2019
Possible use as a cut flower: Good news – grasses are happy to hang out in a vase! Keep ‘em dry and they look really cool.
