Stenanthium gramineum
Stenanthium gramineum exhibits large, pyramidal panicles of small, white, nodding flowers on a stem rising from a basal rosette of folded, grass-like leaves. It can sometimes be confused with a grass when it is not in bloom. It's in the family Melanthiaceae, the same family as Trillium, Veratrum. Xerophyllum, and Zigadenus, the death camas. Some taxonomists still place it in the Liliacaea. It occurs in the eastern and south-central United States
The genus name, from the Greek stenos (narrow) and anthos (flower), refers to the narrow, pointed sepals and petals and to the shape of the panicle.
The species thrives in sunny, wet meadows and pond edges and occurs in woodlands, as well. This is a real beauty, with 3’ - 5'(rare) spikes of small white bell-shaped flowers. It blooms in August.
Prices listed are subject to change, based upon size change and availability.
We are a small local nursery with limited shipping capability. We will do our best to ship smaller material (usually 1 or 2 gallon), although we can sometimes ship larger plants with the pots removed.
We have some species that are not listed, as we have too few of them to make a full listing plausible. You can always inquire.
We will consider contract growing an order with appropriate advance notice and availability of seed, cuttings or lining out stock.
