Barley brome is a cool-season grass that requires minimal intervention and thrives in poor soils. Plant in partial shade and water sparingly as it prefers dry conditions and can become weedy with too much moisture. This annual grass self-seeds readily and provides habitat for wildlife in naturalized areas.
