Explore the charm of Elymus virginicus or Virginia wildrye, a remarkable perennial bunchgrass native to the eastern US, including Virginia and eastern Texas. As one of the rare cool-season grasses in these regions, it stands out in versatility and adaptability. It is extremely palatable to livestock hence requires proper grazing management to avoid its decrease. It proliferates via seed and tillering, making it a robust and resilient species. While it can be confused with the more robust Canadian wild rye, its distinctive features make it stand out. Virginia wildrye is spread widely throughout the eastern 2/3 of the US and southern Canadian provinces. Found typically in moist sites, it tolerates shade well and prefers fertile, heavy soils. It is a beneficial species for pasture, hay, restoration, erosion control, wildlife habitat, and buffer strips. This bunch grass has a variable color, usually green-silver blue, stands 2-4 feet tall, with a dense seed head 2-6 inches in length. Flourishing from May to July, it guarantees a lively landscape with its vivid hues and textures.
