Koeleria macrantha

Koeleria macrantha is a short, tuft-forming perennial bunchgrass, reaching heights from 20–70 cm (7.9–27.6 in). The leaves are basal and up to about 20 cm (7.9 in) long with a blue-green color. The inflorescence is nearly cylindrical and may taper somewhat toward the tip. It holds shiny tan spikelets which are sometimes tinted with purple, each about half a centimeter long. Its fruit is a grain that breaks once it has fully ripened.
