Calamagrostis foliosa
Also called Leafy Reed Grass, Cape Mendocino Reed Grass
Leafy reedgrass (Calamagrostis foliosa) is a perennial bunchgrass native to the coast of northern California's Lost Coast, forming tufts 30 to 60 cm tall. It is a wild native rather than a common garden plant, and it does best in cool, moist, coastal conditions.
Calamagrostis foliosa is a species of grass known by the common name Cape Mendocino reed grass or leafy reed grass. It is endemic to the Lost Coast in northern California, where it grows in the forests and scrub on the coastline.
