Description
A medium tall perennial grass, which as its name suggests has stiff upright flowering stems with branched heads. These arise from basal tufts or tussocks of tough green rough leaves.
How to identify: spikelets on shorter stalks, to 5cm long, erect; blades 2-3mm wide, stiffly hairy on margin.
How to propagate: Upright brome seed can be sown at any time of the year when soil conditions are suitable. For such a robust grass upright brome can be surprisingly slow to germinate and establish from seed.
