Foxtail Brome
Bromus rubens
Overview
Foxtail Brome is an attractive annual grass native to North America. With its dense, bushy tufts of bright green to bronze-hued foliage and grass-like panicles, it adds a touch of interest and texture to any garden. It is perfect for borders, mass plantings, or as a filler plant for containers. This drought-tolerant species grows up to 3 feet tall and blooms with purple spikelets from June through September. Because of its robust growth and ability to self seed, Foxtail Brome can become invasive in a garden unless carefully controlled.
