Japanese Brome
Bromus japonicus
Overview
Japanese Brome is a large, angular grass native to East Asia and the Far East. It is a tufted perennial that grows in clumps up to two feet high and produces numerous branches with sharp, narrow leaves. In summer, the grass produces a nice display of light yellow flowers. Japanese Brome is drought and cold tolerant, and can be grown in sandy or clay soils as long as they are well-drained. It is a great ground cover for soil stabilization and erosion control, and can be used in dry meadows, pastures, or waste areas. Additionally, it suppresses the growth of weeds and makes an excellent forage grass.
