🌾 Ornamental Grass ‘Foxtail Barley’ (Hordeum jubatum)
🌾 Botanical Name: Hordeum jubatum
🌾 Type: Hardy Perennial (often grown as Annual)

Foxtail Barley is a stunning ornamental grass admired for its soft, feathery plumes that shimmer in shades of silver, pink, and green. The silky seed heads sway beautifully in the wind, creating movement and texture in borders, gravel gardens, and containers. A low-maintenance and drought-tolerant choice, it’s ideal for naturalistic planting schemes and dried arrangements. Though technically perennial, it’s often grown as an annual in cooler climates.
