Broom Brome

Bromus scoparius, commonly known as Broom Brome, is a perennial grass native to the Mediterranean region, particularly found in parts of Europe and North Africa. This species typically grows to a height of 30 to 100 cm, forming dense tufts that can create a visually appealing ground cover. The leaves are narrow, linear, and can reach lengths of up to 30 cm, exhibiting a soft texture and a bluish-green hue. The flowering period occurs in late spring to early summer, producing loose, elongated panicles adorned with small, spikelet flowers that are wind-pollinated. The seeds are elongated and can be dispersed by wind and animals, contributing to its spread in suitable habitats.
