Has a wide range of wetland habitat preferences, from shaded woodland ponds to open, sunny marshes. It's a long-lived cool-season native bunchgrass used in ornamental pond plantings due to its attractive, upright flower clusters and clumping habit. A good addition to pond or stream edges, as it works well for wetland restoration and bank stabilization.

Fowl Manna Grass is a host plant for several small species of moths. This grass is palatable to many domestic mammals like cattle, horse, and sheep. However it is largely ignored by deer. Waterfowl feed on the foliage along bodies of water, and the plant provides good cover for small animals.

Our wildflower seed is grown at our farm in Whitefish Ontario or ethically collected from the wild. For your larger projects, we may also source from some of the other outstanding growers we work with.
