Introducing Calamagrostis canadensis, also known as Bluejoint, Bluejoint Reedgrass, Canadian Reedgrass, Marsh Pinegrass, Marsh Reedgrass, and Meadow Pinegrass. This tough perennial grass grows in clumps that can reach 3-5 feet in height, with many slender stems topped by large, nodding, branched inflorescences. The inflorescence starts out purple and later turns tan. Bluejoint grass remains upright even in winter, making it an ideal addition to any landscape. This grass is known for its soil stabilization properties in wet areas and is often one of the first plants to reestablish on oil spill sites. Livestock and wild grazing animals find it palatable, making it a great choice for pastures. However, be aware that Bluejoint grass can compete with conifers in restoration sites.
