Hairy brome
Bromus ramosus
Hairy brome is a tall, graceful woodland grass that naturalizes beautifully in shaded or semi-shaded garden settings, producing elegant drooping flower heads. It thrives in moist, humus-rich soils and requires very little care once established, making it ideal for naturalistic or wildlife garden planting schemes. Its seeds provide food for ground-feeding birds and the foliage offers texture and movement in low-light borders.
