Plants should look good in the garden, but they should also do good too. Deer grass ( Muhlenbergia rigens)is a no-brainer: native, adaptable, wildlife food source and shelter. It’s said that the successful sweep of this welcome western United States native can be attributed to Native Americans, who among other things wove its foliage into baskets and storage vessels. While we have only ourselves to blame for the rampant spread of many undesirable plants, deer grass reminds us of humans’ good deeds.
The western United States consists of many diverse growing conditions and climates – not all of them the friendliest or easiest to manage. Consider this unthirsty, easygoing native your free pass; it can handle situations from occasional frost and intense sun to drought and seasonal flooding.
