Coleataenia tenera
Also called Bluejoint Panicum
Bluejoint panicgrass is a native wild grass of the southeastern United States, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, found in wet meadows, pinelands and bogs. It is rarely grown in gardens, and it does best kept moist in full sun.
Coleataenia tenera, commonly known as southeastern panicgrass, is a species of grass found in the southeastern region of the United States (its range encompassing North Carolina to Florida and stretching westward to Texas), the West Indies, Mexico, and throughout Central America.
C. tenera is considered to be a facultative wetland species, and as such can be observed in habitats such as depression meadows, wet pinelands, and bogs. It has been found to be a dominant species within the short-hydroperiod prairie habitat type of Everglades National Park within the state of Florida.
