Narrative
Willamette Germplasm is a selection of tufted hairgrass, which is a native perennial bunchgrass. It forms dense tufts on moist soils in wet meadow, open brush, and along streams, rivers and coastal estuaries. The culms are erect, leafy at the base, 90-160 cm tall. Sheaths are smooth, keeled with prominent veins. The leaf blades are flat or folded, 1.5-4 mm wide and 8-20 cm long. The panicle is loose, usually open, 10-25 cm long with nodding lower branches. The spikelets are two-flowered, approximately 4-5 cm; the awns are short to twice as long as the spikelet, weakly bent at an angle. Primary use will be for Pacific coastal estuary (intertidal high marsh), stream bank, wet meadow, and seasonal wetland revegetation. It also provides wildlife habitat, plant diversity, herbage, and erosion control.

Willamette germplasm is a native ecotype of tufted hairgrass originating from an from a riparian zone in Willamette Valley of northwest Oregon. It was chosen for its performance in a common garden study comprised of 49 tufted hairgrass ecotypes (accessions) evaluated at the Corvallis Plant Materials Center from 1980 to 1984. It was further tested in solid swards and other evaluations from 1985 to 1998. There was no intentional breeding, hybridization or within population selection.
