Grass Brome Prairie

Common Name: Grass Brome

Botanical Name: Bromus kalmii

Variety: Prairie

Blossom Color: Tan

Bloom Time: Jul-Sep

Zone: 3 to 6

Exposure: Sun to Part Sun

Mature Height: 3'

Mature Width: 12-18"

Notes: Short-lived perennial prairie grass. Up to 3' tall. Lovely blue-gray turning to tan. The weight of the seeds causes the stems to curve gracefully downwards. Use on erosion-prone sites such as steep slopes as a soil stabilizer while slower growing natives take hold. Seeds are a vital food source for birds and small mammals, as well as providing cover and habitat.
