Sought for use as an ornamental in cultivated landscapes, Xerophyllum tenax (Bear Grass) is a stout, evergreen perennial arising from a woody, tuber-like rhizome. It forms a basal rosette of arching, tough, grass-like, olive green leaves, 12-40 in. long (30-100 cm). In late spring to late summer, depending on elevation and latitude, upright stalks rise well above the foliage and bear dense poker-shaped clusters packed with hundreds of slightly fragrant, creamy-white flowers, creating a highly attractive display. Bear Grass can take a few years to reach flowering stage. It is not a reliable bloomer in a garden setting but the leaves are particularly handsome. They and sold to the floral industry for use in floral arrangements. After flowering, the leafy tuft supporting the flower stalk dies, but young offset clumps will have already formed to replace the old. Bear Grass is usually considered to be long-lived because of its continual production of offshoots. Mostly found in western North America from British Columbia south to California and east to Wyoming, Bear Grass grows from near sea level to over 6,600 ft. (2,000 m) in open coniferous woods, dry ridges, rocky slopes and clearings. Bear Grass flower stalks are a delicacy for deer and elk and are eaten by other big game animals as well. Grizzly bears use the leaves as nesting material in their winter dens. Native Americans used the leaves to weave garments and baskets and ate the roasted rootstock.
