Mouse Barley

Latin name: Hordeum jubatum

Mouse barley (Hordeum jubatum) is a delightful annual, ornamental grass that adds charm to any garden. Growing to a height of 40–60 cm, it features stunning spikes that can reach 5–12 cm in length. These spikes are light green and pendulous, adorned with long, delicate awns that sway gracefully in the breeze.

This plant is particularly suited for naturalistic flower gardens and flowering meadows, making it a great choice for those looking to create a vibrant and diverse planting scheme. It pairs beautifully with brightly colored flowers, enhancing the overall visual appeal of your garden.

For best results, grow mouse barley in fertile, dry soils. The seeds can be sown directly into the soil, and plants can be thinned after germination. If left uncut, they will self-sow, creating a lovely, low-maintenance display year after year.

• Height: 40–60 cm

Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, mouse barley is a fantastic addition to your garden and can be used for creating stunning floristic compositions.
