Fowl Manna Grass (Glyceria striata)

Fowl Manna Grass is a 3' to 4' tall native perennial cool season bunch grass that is best described as a wetland species. The seedheads are in a loose panicle, often drooping from the weight of the multitude of seed. This species grows in seeps, wet wood and thickets, around swampy borders, in wet fields, in shaded ditches, and along shallow sloughs and stream edges. It prefers slightly shaded sites, but will grow in full sun with consistently moist soils. It is an easy to grow plant for ponds, rain gardens and other water features in the garden. It is widely used in seed mixes for wetland restoration and habitat plantings for wildlife in wetland sites. It is a valuable food and cover plant for wildlife, especially waterfowl.
