Prairie Junegrass

Prairie junegrass is a perennial bunchgrass native to North America and Eurasia. It forms attractive, compact tufts of narrow, gray-green leaves. Its flowering stems bear delicate, open panicles of small, awned spikelets that give the plant a fine-textured appearance, usually blooming from late spring to early summer. Prairie junegrass is highly drought-tolerant and thrives in well-drained soils, including prairies, open woodlands, and rocky slopes. It provides forage for wildlife and livestock and is valued for erosion control and native landscaping due to its adaptability and low maintenance requirements.
