Hordeum jubatum
Squirrel tail grass
 
Hordeum jubatum features long, thin seed heads that resemble a squirrel's tail, adding a touch of whimsy to any landscape. Growing to a height of 1-2 feet, this grass thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun, making it an ideal addition to a sunny border or wildflower meadow.
 
Songbirds are drawn to the seed heads, while the dense foliage offers shelter for small mammals and insects.
