How to Grow and Care for Common frayreed

Common frayreed presents as an erect and compact tussock grass standing at a modest height of approximately 3 feet (roughly 600 mm). It boasts a rhizomatous growth habit indicative of its potential to spread through underground stems. The foliage bears a resemblance to the arching, fine leaves of its relative, but with reduced dimensions, granting it a more delicate appearance. Scapes on common frayreed are simple and notable for their upright presentation. For reproduction, common frayreed develops characteristically pendent male spikelets, which are arranged in a paniculate formation – likely contributing to its ornamental appeal. One might also observe the occasional presence of branched sterile scapes among the greenery.
