What are plugs? Plugs are plants grown in 72-cell trays; each soil plug is 1.6” wide x 3.2” deep. They are a great option for planting large gardens. We plant all of our own projects with plugs.

Bottlebrush Grass is a unique shade grass. It is a clump forming grass about 3ft tall. It grows in a taller column with nodding seed heads in the fall. It spreads by seed and we prefer to use it in woodland restorations and taller shade gardens.

Design Tips

Bottlebrush Grass is a tall, clump-forming shade grass. It adds interest when planted individually in a shade garden to tower above surrounding plants. Since it spreads readily by seed, we prefer to use it in woodland restorations and taller habitats where it can run wild. Bottlebrush Grass (Elymus hystrix) is a great plant for places where buckthorn has been removed.

Great native plant choice for the Minnesota Lawns to Legumes grant program!
