Bottlebrush Grass, Elymus hystrix or Hystrix patula, is a cool-season grass, which actively grows during the spring and fall when soil temperatures are cooler. Bottlebrush Grass provides texture and interest in shaded areas.

It is a larval host to the Northern Pearly Eye (Lethe anthedon) and provides seeds for the birds!
