Meadow barley
Hordeum secalinum
Meadow barley is a slender, tufted perennial grass native to European meadows and grasslands, valued for its graceful form and ecological value in wildflower and meadow plantings. It grows well in average to moist soils and tolerates partial shade, making it suitable for naturalistic garden schemes. Little maintenance is required — simply cut back in late winter before new growth emerges.
