Narrative

Plant height 1.8m in dense clumps of leafy stems produced from medium-sized rhizomes. Generally grows much shorter on unfertilized disturbed sites or in dense stands. Inflorescences are borne erect and by anthesis, open into panicles of small spikelets. Seed is shed readily when ripe, aided in distribution by presence of long hairs on florets. Includes tetraploid (2n=28), hexaploid, and octoploid plants. Adapted for inclusion in planting mixes throughout mainland Alaska. Recommended particularly for more harsh environments of tundra locations where few cvs. are adapted.
