Bear Grass (Xerophyllum Tena) is a stout perennial arising from a woody, tuber-like rhizome. Leaves are dull olive green and typically 1-2.5 feet long, grass-like in appearance, and rough to the touch. Flower stems typically range from 4-6 feet high. The raceme of flowers is white or cream in color and slightly fragrant. Plants flower in spring to early summer, depending on elevation and latitude and can form highly attractive displays in their natural habitats.
The species grows from near sea level to over 6,000 feet in open coniferous woods, dry ridges, rocky slopes, and clearings. It ranges over a wide geographic area in western North America extending from British Columbia south to the Sierra Nevada and Coast Range of California, and east from Alberta to northwest Wyoming. It is a common occurrence in the Olympic, Cascade, northern Sierra Nevada, and Rocky Mountains.
