Fringed Brome

Bromus ciliatus var. richardsonii, commonly known as Fringed Brome, is a perennial grass native to the northern regions of North America, particularly found in moist meadows, grasslands, and along the edges of forests. This variety typically grows to a height of 2 to 4 feet, exhibiting a clumping growth habit that provides a lush appearance in its natural habitat. The leaves are long, narrow, and have a distinctive fringed appearance, which gives the plant its common name. The flowering period occurs in late spring to early summer, producing delicate, drooping inflorescences that are attractive to various pollinators. The seeds are small and are dispersed by wind and animals, contributing to the grass’s spread in suitable environments.
