Calamagrostis Junciformis

Bluejoint grass, scientifically known as Calamagrostis junciformis, is a striking native plant found across much of North America. It is recognized for its tall, slender stalks that often sway gracefully in the wind. This grass species thrives in wet or moist environments, making it a common sight in marshes and along riverbanks. Its blue-green foliage and fluffy seed heads make it both ornamental and ecologically valuable. Despite its delicate appearance, Bluejoint grass is remarkably resilient and plays an important role in stabilizing soil and supporting local wildlife.
