Virginia Wildrye  Elymus virginicus	 	
	
	
	
Found in the eastern 2/3 of the United States, this perennial cool season bunch grass is 
typically found along shady creek banks, fence rows or in open woodlands. One of a very few 
native grasses that is a solid performer in shady areas. A great choice for mixing with warm 
season native grasses to provide a source of winter forage and nutrient-rich grain for wildlife. 
As do most cool season grasses, Virginia Wildrye begins growth in the fall and grows slowly 
through the winter, maturing in late spring.

Western Wheatgrass  Pascopyrum smithii		
	
A high quality native cool season pasture grass found in the western regions of the US & N. 
Mexico. Excellent grass for erosion control with a dense, fibrous root system and can tolerate 
salty soil conditions making it a great choice for revegetating areas with challenging soils. In 
its native range from the great plains through the west, western wheatgrass typically grows 
from 1–3 feet tall with as little as 12” of rainfall. Favored by wildlife and livestock, providing 
cool season forage. Caution: May choke out cool season wildflowers if overwatered or in a 
moist location.

White Tridens  Tridens albescens	
	
Attractive native bunch grass. Endures incredibly diverse and harsh conditions ranging from 
occasionally inundated heavy lowland clays to shallow dry rocky uplands. White seed-heads 
add diversity to native landscaping & restoration projects. Good forage, nesting material and 
nutritious seeds for wildlife. Fibrous root systems hold soil very effectively. Grows along 
drainages and sites that overflow occasionally. Live Roots p. 77
