Virginia Wild Rye (Elymus virginicus)

From $6.00

I'm a native of New York state and Tompkins County, NY.

I'm a cool season plant, which means I start growing early in the spring.

I like to bunch and make lovely fall displays as my seed heads dry.

I bring interest to the garden and can be used for indoor arrangements.

My seeds attract birds.
