Riverbank Wild Rye 25 Plants $79.99 Description

Riverbank Wild Rye 

Riverbank Wild Rye or Elymus riparius, as it is known scientifically, is a water garden plant that blossoms in summer, growing over six feet tall.

This plant’s elegant movement in the wind is a visual delight. Native to the eastern portion of the United States. Riverbank Wild Rye is a tall, perennial bunchgrass that produces long, thin, deep green foliage and bushy seed heads. It is a graminoid, that is, an herbaceous plant with a grass-like morphology that includes elongated culms with long, blade-like leaves. This plant is a cool weather grass with an active growth phase between spring and summer, after which it goes dormant. Riverbank Wild Rye is excellent for soil stabilization and creating wildlife habitats on moist soils.

 

Riverbank wild rye care and maintenance

Riverbank Wild Rye thrives best in moist conditions making it an ideal plant for water gardens. Riverbank Wild Rye prefers to be planted in wet soil in a sand or clay base, in partial to complete shade from the sun. The plant requires little care and remains throughout the spring and summer. This plant will remain firm regardless of rough winds and unusual temperatures. Beneficial to the other plants growing around it, the Riverbank Wild Rye helps manage the moisture conditions in the soil. This plant is an excellent choice for erosion prevention and soil enhancement.  

 

Considerations

Riverbank Wild Rye produces strong seeds with terrific reseeding results. The flowering phase lasts around 1–2 weeks in late spring through early summer. The Riverbank Wild Rye is pollinated by the wind, resulting in many flowers. This plant is deer and pest resistant. The Riverbank Wile Rye will provide excellent nutrition and nesting for songbirds and ducks in your backyard water garden.
