Discover the beauty and functionality of Glyceria canadensis, commonly known as Rattlesnake Grass, Canada Manna, Canadian Mannagrass, or Quaking Grass. This stunning perennial bunchgrass is an obligate wetland species, thriving in the moist environments of swamps, marshes, floodplains, and along water bodies like streams, rivers, and lakes. Distinguished by its cascading heads and large, showy spikelets, Rattlesnake Grass adds an attractive touch to any wetland landscape. Perfectly suited for pairing with species like Joe Pye Weed, Cardinal Flower, and native Irises, it not only enhances the visual appeal but also plays a critical role in stabilizing wetland banks.

As a cool-season grass, it actively grows in spring and fall, presenting unique spikelets of 3-12 lance-oval flower clusters, transitioning to a light brown hue at maturity. The enduring glumes persist on the stalk, offering an intriguing contrast with the nut-like grains. This grass stands 1-3 feet tall, preferring clay or loam soils under full to part sun exposure. Ideal for wetland restoration and erosion control, Glyceria canadensis brings both beauty and ecological utility to any wetland garden.
