Kalm's Brome is a cool-season grass that forms neat, upright to slightly arching clumps of fine green leaves. Its delicate, open flower clusters appear in early to mid-summer and turn straw-coloured as the seeds mature. It is a good choice for dry native gardens, prairie plantings and naturalized areas. It tolerates drought once established. It does best in lean to average soil. Avoid consistently wet soil, particularly during winter.
