Prairie June Grass, Crested Hair Grass

Prairie June Grass is a fine-textured Ontario-native cool-season grass that produces its best ornamental show in late spring when its silvery-green flower and seed heads catch the light, one of the earliest native grasses to bloom, and it excels in dry, poor soils where it has minimal competition, filling an important niche in native meadow and prairie plantings.

• Silvery-green flower and seed heads appear in late spring, one of the earliest-blooming native grasses, creating a shimmering early-season display
• Tolerates dry, poor, and rocky soils exceptionally well; genuinely drought tolerant once established
• Ontario native species; excellent for dry native meadows, prairie restorations, and rocky open sites
• Cool-season growth habit; most active in spring and fall with summer semi-dormancy in hot dry conditions
