Native Plant Propagation Guidelines:
grasses & sedges

Lemmon's needlegrass (photo by Keir Morse)

Perennial tufted grass 15-90 cm tall. Mix with other perennial grasses in a sunny and dry meadow setting. Photo by Keir Morse. Click here for propagation information.

California brome (photo by Toni Corelli)

Can be invasive/aggressive but is effective and attractive as a single drift at the back of a border. Good all-season character. Do not over-fertilize in a landscape setting or the plant will become over-aggressive and control may be required. Photo by Toni Corelli. Click here for propagation information.

Alaska brome (photo by Carrina Maslovat)

Forms large clumps. Easier to control than California brome. Looks most attractive in a single large drift. Photo by Carrina Maslovat. Click here for propagation information.

  

Grows in moist to dry and sunny to shady areas with nitrogen-rich soils. Click here for propagation information.

Perennial tufted herb from slender, creeping, branched rhizomes. Produces 10 stems 20-50 cm tall, clustered, usually longer than the leaves, reddish-brown tinged at the bases. Grow in contained areas in the sun with nitrogen-medium soil. Mix with other tufting grasses/sedges. Photo by Emily Gonzales. Click here for propagation information.
