Canada Wild Rye has lovely nodding seed heads and warm green mid-summer color. It is a cool-season grass, so it actively grows during the spring and fall when soil temperatures are cool. It is one of the first grasses to be prevalent throughout a prairie planting, but after several years it largely will have given way to other grasses and wildflowers. For this reason it can also be used as a native Cover Crop.
