River Bank Wild Rye is a 3' to 6' tall native perennial cool season bunch grass and is the tallest of the native wild rye species. This plant is usually found in moist, often sandy, ground in woodland edges and field margins, but most often, as the name implies, along the banks of rivers and creeks. River Bank Wild Rye flower in early summer. The tall gracefully arching seed heads makes this plant valuable for use in garden borders, native plant gardens, woodland edge plantings, and in wildlife habitat seed mixes. Birds are attracted to the large seeds. Prices listed are based on pure live seed weight, not bulk weight. You are only paying for viable seed.
