Bromus inermis
Also called Hungarian Brome, Awnless Brome
Smooth brome is a tall, long-lived rhizomatous grass from Europe and temperate Asia, grown as forage and for soil cover and often spreading into wild areas. It is best grown in cool, moist conditions and is hardy and tolerant of cold.
Bromus inermis is a species of the true grass family (Poaceae). This rhizomatous grass is native to Europe and considered invasive in North America.
The plant is an erect, leafy, long-lived perennial, 46 to 91 cm (1+1⁄2 to 3 ft) tall, rhizomatous and commonly producing a dense sod. It starts growth in early spring; flowers May to July; reproduces from seeds, tillers, and rhizomes. It may regrow and re flower in the fall if moisture is sufficient.
