Hooked bristlegrass
Setaria verticillata
Hooked bristlegrass is a resilient annual grass that adapts well to a range of soil types and light conditions from full sun to part shade. It requires minimal care and average watering, making it easy to grow in garden borders or naturalized areas. Note that its barbed seed heads can cling to clothing and animal fur, so placement near walkways is not recommended.
