BEARGRASS

Gracefully clustered in creamy-white flowering stalks, beargrass blooms only every 5 to 7 years. Delicately scented, these flowers may appear in June and depending on mountain elevations, flower until September. Stalks can reach heights of 2-5 feet. Beargrass is a member of the Lily Family, but can easily be mistaken for a true grass when not in bloom.
