     Wool Grass is a beautiful wetlands grass with attractive bronze or silvery coloring on long, slender stalks that blow gracefully in the wind.  Its wool-like inflorescences last well into winter.

 

     Wool Grass is a larval host for moths and butterflies and it provides food and cover for waterfowl.

 

     An aggressive spreader, Wool Grass is ideal for large areas and for restoration projects.

 

     Fun fact: Wool Grass was used to make woven mats and ropes, and for stuffing and making pillows.
