Hairy Wood Brome

Overview

Hairy Wood Brome (Bromus pubescens) is a perennial grass native to the meadows and pastures of Europe and western Asia. It grows in tight clumps and has tall, erect stems that are covered with small hairs. The oval-shaped leaves are narrow and folded in the middle with edges that are rough to the touch. The flower heads of this species are typically borne in small clusters at the top of the stems and are made up of a few spikelets in shades of green and brown. Hairy Wood Brome prefers moist, sunny areas and is best planted in sandy or clay soils. It is an attractive, low-maintenance ornamental grass with good drought tolerant qualities and in late summer produces an abundance of small seeds.
