Fowl Manna Grass (Glyceria striata), the most prevalent member of the Glyceria family, thrives across North America's diverse habitats. Adapting to a spectrum of wetland environments, this perennial grass flourishes in both sunlit marshes and shaded woodland ponds. Its distinguishing open panicle, measuring 4 to 8 inches, displays 15 to 50 flower clusters (spikelets), each hosting 3 to 6 fertile florets. Fowl Manna Grass exhibits intriguing ecological interactions, serving as a host for the Elachista irrorata moth. Its foliage attracts cattle, horses, and sheep but is notably ignored by deer. Geese, however, consume its leaves along water bodies. This grass grows 2 to 3.5 feet tall, forming tufts of smooth, light green stems with ascending leaves up to 12 inches long. As it matures, florets transition to brown grains, dispersing swiftly, with glumes remaining. Preferring full sun to light shade, it prospers in fertile loamy soils. Despite its unassuming appearance, Fowl Manna Grass offers significant ecological benefits, providing shelter for various wildlife.
