Canada Wild Rye (Elymus canadensis)

It is abundant in eastern North America as it likes to grow in many types of habitats with the exceptions of deep woods or very wet soils.


This is an early stage of restoration at Midwein National Tallgrass Prairie. Canada Wild Rye is great at keeping invasives out. In the near future, Midewin will enhance the diversity of this areas with more forbs and grasses.
