Brachypodium retusum

Brachypodium sylvaticum is a perennial grass with a semi-evergreen nature, growing in loose, tufted clusters that can reach up to 1 meter in height and span about 50 centimeters. Its growth habit is characterized by arching stems that gently droop, creating a relaxed, natural look. The leaves are elongated and slender, bright green in color, measuring as much as 30 centimeters in length and up to 1 centimeter in width. They feature a soft, hairy surface and retain their green hue for a significant portion of the year, although they may develop a yellowish tint during autumn and colder seasons. From June through September, this grass produces delicate flower spikes that nod gracefully. The spikelets range from pale green to light brown, typically measuring 5 to 10 centimeters long and are borne on slender, wiry stems, contributing to a feathery overall appearance.
