Bromes - Bromus (Taxonomy, Characteristics, Distribution, Images)

Bromes

Also known as: Cheat grasses

The bromes are are considered "cool-season" grasses, because they tend to grow the most during spring and fall, rather than summer. Many bromes are confused for food for livestock; they look green, lush, and appetizing to grazing animals in early spring, but very quickly turn tough and brown, becoming poor fodder.

Water: Bromes thrives in temperate regions with moderate moisture, requiring balanced watering weekly. As a mesic plant, it prefers neither extreme wet nor dry conditions. Typically grown outdoors, bromes experiences dormancy in colder months, which affects its water needs.

Propagation: The primary propagation method for bromes is seed sowing in well-draining soil under optimal light and temperature. Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging. Some can be propagated via division or cuttings. Collect ripe seeds, sow shallowly, and transplant seedlings post-frost.
