Fringed Brome

Bromus ciliatus

Fringed Brome is a native perennial grass that stands out with its elegant, arching form and fine-textured foliage. Throughout summer, it produces long, feathery seed heads that nod gracefully in the wind, providing a dynamic element to the landscape. This grass is particularly effective in mass plantings or as an accent in a mixed border, where its delicate structure contrasts nicely with more substantial plants. It thrives in both sun and partial shade, adapting well to a variety of garden settings.
