sand rice grass
This rugged, incredibly drought tolerant bunchgrass hails from hot, sunny locations in desert areas and juniper woodlands of California. The inflorescences which emerge above the green foliage in spring and summer, are incredible airy and delicate. By the end of summer, plants take on an ivory color, appearing like billowing little clouds which create a wonderfully soft texture for the late season garden. Plants reach to about 2’ around. In winter, plants will go dormant. Little to no water once established. Needs decent drainage. Deer resistant.
