Also known as: Weeping Brome

Bromus frondosus, commonly known as Weeping Brome, is a perennial grass native to the temperate regions of North America, particularly found in the western United States. This species typically exhibits a tufted growth habit, reaching heights of 2 to 3 feet, with a graceful, arching form that gives it a weeping appearance. The leaves are narrow, elongated, and can grow up to 12 inches long, featuring a soft texture and a vibrant green color that turns golden in the fall. The flowering period occurs in late spring to early summer, producing loose, nodding panicles of small, inconspicuous flowers that are wind-pollinated, followed by the formation of elongated seeds that are dispersed by wind and animals, aiding in its propagation across various habitats.
