Elymus virginicus

Virginia Wild Rye is a cool season, clumping grass that has graceful, tufted seed head. This grass does well in light shade, making it the perfect edition to a wooded edge and useful for erosion control for streambanks and hillsides

 

Elymus virginicus is a feeder plant for many different insects, including native leaf miner moths and beetles, as well as serving as the host plant for several species of skipper moths. The sharp edges of the seeds deter deer, and care should be taken to keep this plant away from pet areas. These same seed heads are often collected and dried to add to floral arrangements.
