Leymus triticoides 'Grey Dawn'
A blue-green creeping wild rye selection that spreads vigorously once established. Allow several feet of spread and expect roughly 1–3 feet of foliage and stalk height, depending on conditions.
Growing in Southern California
- Light: Full sun to partial shade.
- Water and soil: Establish with regular irrigation. Give occasional deep water in well-drained to seasonally moist soil. Drought tolerant once established, with better summer color where moisture is available.
- Growth: Spreads by underground rhizomes. Allow room for a colony or use a defined edge.
- Wildlife: Foliage provides cover and nesting material. Wind-pollinated.
- Care and uses: Useful for meadow planting, groundcover and slopes. Trim dry foliage before fresh growth and manage spreading edges.
