June Grass (Koeleria macrantha) produces lustrous silver-green seed heads in early summer. The supporting foliage is an attractive green-gray color. Growing actively in spring and fall when soil temperatures are cooler, it makes an excellent companion for shorter prairie flowers, such as Prairie Smoke and Lupine. June Grass will not grow in clay - it prefers full sun and dry, sandy soil.
