Agropyron Laeve

Smooth wheatgrass, scientifically known as Agropyron laeve, is a hardy perennial grass native to the arid and semi-arid regions of North America. It thrives in harsh environments, often found in disturbed soils and along roadsides, demonstrating remarkable resilience to drought and poor soil conditions. This plant is valued for its nutritional content, as it is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a popular choice for livestock and human consumption. Its ability to stabilize soil and prevent erosion makes it an important species in ecological restoration projects. Despite its benefits, Smooth wheatgrass remains underappreciated and often overlooked in favor of more ornamental grasses.
