Add a touch of wild woodland charm to your garden with Luzula parviflora, or Small-Flowered Woodrush, a hardy, evergreen native perfect for shady spaces. This cute, compact grass relative has bright yellow-green leaves that bring a pop of fresh color to low-light areas, creating an inviting look that’s easy to maintain.

With a “circumboreal” distribution, Luzula parviflora thrives throughout the northern hemisphere in cool, moist forests. It’s commonly found on the west side of Oregon, including the Portland area, Coast Range, and Cascades, down through Southern Oregon. A natural fit for woodland gardens, this plant’s low-maintenance nature and compact form make it ideal for brightening up shady nooks of any size.

In summer, its seed heads provide food for birds and small wildlife, adding to its value in a native garden. For a versatile, attractive addition that complements shaded spots and draws in nature, Small-Flowered Woodrush is an excellent choice.
