Prairie Junegrass Seeds (Koeleria macrantha) | Canada Native Grass | 1 oz

A Tough, Beautiful Native Grass for Canadian Landscapes

Junegrass is one of Canada's most versatile and underappreciated native grasses. Found naturally from Ontario to British Columbia across sandy prairies, open woodlands, and rocky slopes, it is a cool-season grass that wakes up early in spring and stays attractive well into the season. Whether you are restoring a native meadow, seeding a low-maintenance lawn, or adding texture to an ornamental planting, Junegrass earns its place.

Growing Notes

Junegrass establishes best when seeded in early spring or fall into a firm, weed-free seedbed. It prefers well-drained soils and full sun to light shade. As a cool-season grass, it grows most actively in spring and fall and may go semi-dormant during hot summer months. Minimal fertilization is needed once established.
