Giant Wildrye

Elymus condensatus
Giant Wildrye (Leymus condensatus) is a perennial grass native to Western US states (such as California) that can thrive in USDA Zones 7–10. Reaching a mature height of 5–10 feet with a massive, tall, stout clump-forming growth habit, it features wide, coarse grayish-green leaf blades and produces thick, dense seed spikes up to a foot long. It thrives in dry to moist soils on chaparral slopes, canyon bottoms, and coastal bluffs and is ideal for steep slope bioengineering erosion control, firebreak buffer creation, and wildlife shelter.
