Crested Wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum) is a hardy, long-lived perennial grass, widely naturalized in North America. It’s a great fit for prairie-style landscapes, erosion control, or low-maintenance gardens thanks to its ability to thrive in poor soils and tolerate drought. Though it isn’t native, it’s often used for land restoration because it plays well with native plants and supports wildlife.
This tough, easy-care grass adds both style and practicality to your garden, helping you create a lush, wildlife-friendly space that needs little tending.
Its soft, tufted texture adds visual appeal, and the best part? Deer and rabbits tend to avoid it, so your garden stays intact without any fuss.
This grass is ideal for soil conservation and erosion control. It is also a valuable forage plant for livestock.
