Virginia Wildrye is similar to Canada wildrye (Elymus canadensis) in appearance but is typically shorter in height with shorter awns on the seed head. The seed heads are more erect than those of Canada wildrye.
One of the few natives that performs under partial canopy.
Well-suited to streambanks and woodland edges.
Spring and fall growth complements warm-season natives.
Faster from seed than most native species.
Fibrous roots stabilize shaded and streamside soils.
Provides structure and seed in transitional habitats.
Prefers better moisture than upland prairie species.
