ID Features: This tufted grass grows 5 to 12 inches tall with a few erect stems and smooth, dark nodes. Leaves are short and crowded at the base and often are wavy or curling when mature. Six to eight woolly-based, bell-shaped spikes are attached to each wavy seed stem; hence, the old name "bell grama." Three to five seeds are in each spike.
