Elymus villosus (Silky Wild Rye grass)

Elymus villosus, commonly known as Silky Wild Rye grass, is a perennial cool-season grass native to North America. It is characterized by its dense clumps of long, arching leaves that have a silky texture and a blue-green color. In late spring to early summer, it produces slender flower spikes that rise above the foliage, adding an elegant touch to its appearance. This grass is drought-tolerant, adaptable to a variety of soil conditions, and commonly used for erosion control and habitat restoration projects.
