Foxtail brome is a hardy ornamental grass that requires very little attention once established in a well-drained, open position. It is well adapted to dry, disturbed soils and needs only occasional watering during prolonged dry periods. Its distinctive foxtail seed heads add textural interest to naturalized plantings and provide seed for birds.
