Bluejoint reedgrass

Calamagrostis canadensis

Cool season, sod-forming, native perennial found on wetland and riparian sites. Performs well at low to high elevations. May become dominant in the northern extent of its range, including mainland Alaska. Good forage producer and highly palatable when young, but poor palatability when mature. Excellent for rehabilitating wet mineral or decomposed organic soils in cold environments.
