Prairie Brome Live Grass Plant | Bromus kalmii | Native Ornamental Grass Starter Plant

Add graceful texture and native beauty to your landscape with Prairie Brome, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its fine blue-green foliage, upright clumping habit, and ecological value. Bromus kalmii, commonly known as Prairie Brome or Kalm's Brome, is a hardy North American native cool-season grass that naturally grows in prairies, savannas, open woodlands, and meadows. It is an excellent choice for native plant gardens, prairie restorations, pollinator landscapes, erosion control, borders, and naturalized plantings. With proper care, it produces graceful seed heads from late spring through early summer.

Prairie Brome thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil, adapting well to sandy, loamy, and rocky sites. Its attractive arching foliage adds movement and texture throughout the growing season, while its delicate seed heads provide visual interest and food for birds. This long-lived native grass also offers cover and nesting habitat for wildlife and blends beautifully with native wildflowers and other prairie species.
