Narrative
Cool-season perennial bunchgrass selected for superior acid tolerance (2.8-7.0 pH), ability to grow on both wet and dry sites, and field trial performance. Culms occur in dense tufts, leafy at base, erect 60 to 120cm tall. Sheaths smooth. Blades 1.5 to 4mm wide, often elongate. Panicles loose, open, nodding, 10 to 25cm long. Spikelets 4 to 5mm long, pale or purple-tinged, with the florets distant. Recommended for revegetation at high elevations on acidic soils (3.0-6.5 pH). Especially suited for revegetation of high elevation mined lands, subalpine wet meadows, and bog sites in the mid to Northern Intermountain Region at elevation from 6,200 to 13,000 feet.
