Muhlenbergia rigens
Description
A 3\' perennial with 2\' plumes rising above the plant. It looks like a small pampas grass but without the bad leaf cuts and the aggressive seeding. Native to much of Calif. up into the mountains. It grows on banks of seasonal creeks. Use it in dry stream beds or along driveways. Much more useful than Pampas grass because of its size. It is native on the nursery property. The original plants have been here for years (15+) and look wonderful. These plants are fast. They normally will grow to mature size in a season or two. Give them sun and enough water to bring the rainfall to 15 inches/year after the first month or so of regular water. Commonly used for making baskets by the Ca. Indians. Very Easy.
