Long-awned wood grass is native to the southern part of the state of Michigan in rich woods as well as oak hickory forests. It is found in high quality sites where not much disturbance has occurred
Long-awned wood grass is an attractive plant, especially in a small grouping. The leaves are at a 90-degree angle from the stem. It flowers in the summer and is wind pollinated like most grasses and sedges. Once seeds are formed it has a very distinctive look due to the long awns attached to the seeds ( see photos). These long awns can attach to animal fur and so may be spread in this way.
Long-awned wood grass can spread by rhizome. It is a host plant of the northern pearly eye butterfly.
